Enjoy a spiritual night of Turkish Sufi culture in Goreme at an authentic Whirling Dervish ceremony at a Dervish house. You will watch the spellbinding Whirling Dervish ritual, a religious performance and enjoy a serbet drink. Your English-speaking guide will pick you up at your hotel before the performance, explain its significance, and then bring you back to the hotel following the show for convenience.

Turkey’s Whirling Dervishes are world-renowned for their unique twirling rituals, an ancient spiritual practice of the Sufi religion. With this tour, attend a traditional Sema ceremony at a historic caravanserai and watch the sacred ritual for yourself. Your English-speaking guide will be there throughout the 1-hour ceremony to explain the traditions, and you’ll also have the opportunity to try ‘Serbet’, a sweet cordial drink enjoyed by the Sufis.

The Sema ceremony represents the mystical journey of man's spiritual ascent through love and his search for truth and perfection. It is believed that once man has returned from his spiritual journey, he can love and be of service to all creatures surrounding him. Tonight, you have the opportunity to experience an authentic Cappadocian ceremony and witness an ancient Turkish ritual. These abodes were built when trade across Turkey in medieval Seljuk times was dependent on camel trains. The buildings provided accommodation for the merchants and stabling for their animals. Today these ancient structures are the site of The Sema. The ceremony lasts for one hour and during this time your friendly and professional English-speaking guide will talk you through the ceremony and introduce you to Serbet, a traditional religious libation
