Tickets for Whirling Dervishes Show & Mevlevi Sema in Istanbul

Mystic-religious ceremony, carried out with great seriousness, in a propitious environment for it. Many centuries behind him.

Journey to an enchanted corner of the world rich in history and worship. Truly exceptional cultural experience...Recommended

Beautiful spectacle, quite private. The music is truly beautiful, so is the dance. The venue is great but you should pay attention to arrive in advance in order to choose your place and have an clear view of the dancers.

The location instructions were easy to follow, and we arrived at 6:40pm, and the place was already absolutely jam packed. We luckily got the last 2 seats that allowed a fairly good view. If you want front row, or second row seats, get there around 6.15pm (45 minutes before the show starts). A lot of people had to stand around the perimeter, so it was definitely over-sold, and the venue appeared to not have fire sprinklers, which was a bit concerning given the number of people in attendance. Unfortunately, the amazing performance of the musicians and the dervishes was slightly tarnished by the obvious commercial aspect. Also not a show suitable for pre-school aged children!

All very convenient and simple
