Ayasofya benim için dünyanın harikalarından biri. Çok fazla tarihe sahip ve iki büyük imparatorluk için çok hayati bir rol oynadı. Tarihle ilgilenen herkes için bir zorunluluk.

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.

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.

Your experience

This pocket-friendly combo lets you experience two of Istanbul's most captivating cultural treasures: the whirling dervishes' ceremony and the Hagia Sophia.

Whirling Dervish Show

Imagine the warm glow of candlelight illuminating a centuries-old Madrasah as you witness the Sema ceremony. As the first notes of traditional Sufi music fill the Madrasah, the Dervishes begin their graceful twirls. Their movements are slow and deliberate, each spin a representation of their connection to the universe. Watch as the Dervishes reach a state of near-trance, their white skirts creating a blur against the backdrop of the historic building. This performance is more than just a show; it's a window into the heart of Sufism, a mystical tradition that symbolizes their connection to the universe and a letting go of the earthly world.

Hagia Sophia

Your combo ticket also grants you skip-the-line access to the Hagia Sophia. With your multilingual audio guide, embark on a self-guided exploration, unraveling the stories etched in the mosaics and the intricate calligraphy adorning the walls. Imagine the footsteps of Byzantine emperors echoing through the 6th-century Emperor's Gate. Don't miss the Mihrab, a prayer niche indicating the direction of Mecca – a reminder of Hagia Sophia's past as both a church and a mosque. Keep an eye out for the towering columns, each brought from ancient cities such as Ephesos and Tarsus. Explore this time capsule at your own pace as you soak in its centuries-old history.
