Whirling Dervish & Sufi Dance Tickets in Sultanahmet Area

Booking was easy and secure. The event information was very clear and specific. When we arrived at the venue everything was perfect as well. The event was wonderful, well organized and unique. I would recommend using Headout for similar experiences.

It was an experience, not a performance, that in itself, with the cultural and religious significance it was very moving. It gave a deeper understanding of an ancient tradition and meditation. Would definitely recommend to anyone who can respect and appreciate different cultures and religion.

The warm welcome with a glass of tea to tide us over. The musical introduction to get us in the mood and accustom our Western ears to these astonishing sounds. Watching these bearded fellows twirl with surprising grace and lightness. It's a wonderful experience, and one that leaves you feeling serene and smiling.

Great experiences to discover Sufi ritual. Small remark or suggestion: explain to people who don't know what it's all about. That there's an element of spirtuality and that's why it's important to be respectful and silent. Some people were laughing and pampering. Which can be disturbing at times.

Interesting. Perhaps it would have been better with fewer viewers, and with a presentation of the significance of what is being done

Ease of booking Access to venue The show was also awesome As the audience will increase the show will be much better

Buying the tix was easy and the ushers were super nice. I found the experience surprisingly moving.

It was very well organised. There was a gentalman who explained the ceremony and even waited for Q & As at the end The musicians were superb and the dervishs were breathtaking definitely worth a visit

Ideal Location Location. Introductory explanations and answers to the most common questions. Price/quality is 10 out of 10. Recommend.

An enchanting moment. The only problem was finding the place, as the map link took us a bit further. Aim.for.the.basilica.cistern.and.walk.50m.down.the.same.sidewalk. White.gate.just.before.imperial.tour.operator.

I loved the way we were first given the context to the whirling dervish show. The history from where all started. For me, it was a complete eye opener and for the ceremony (the sema dance) was just so magical. I cannot describe it in words but the moment the dervish dance started the aura of the room changed to a mystical one.

Hello, I had trouble finding the location. The geolocation on the app was unreliable! Very nice show

The check-in was well organized. There are posters about the Dervishes and their history, training, spiritual practices and experiences, clothing and tools, and also, quotes from Rumi. These are interesting and enhance the experience. Restaurants are plentiful in the area.

The Dervish show was very good. Both buying the tickets and presenting them at the entrance went very smoothly.

It was an amazing experience. Highly recommend it! Also, I appreciate that toddlers were allowed, my 2 years daughter become quiet once they start dancing...mesmerising

THe performance was beautiful. It began with a quartet offering a traditional musical prelude. Another quartet accompanied the dancers themselves, and the performance was mesmerizing. Our host spoke of the performance afterwards and offered to answer questions.

The dance show was nice, however it missed explanation and information about the dance, history، why this dance was established, meanings behind each move, .. etc. This can be done in different ways; a person explaining before and after the show, or by text on the screen in different languages including English.

It was great, the host was very knowledgeable about the ritual and helped us understand it both before and after the dance. As for the dance itself, very well executed, both by musicians and dervishes.

The welcome was warm. The discovery of the Dervish turners. I liked the music and the singing, but found it a bit long.

The music and the dance very well, but the room is terrible, with advertising in the background, photos projected in a meaningless loop that breaks the magic of the dance, a shame.
