Who are Dervishes or Sufis

They’re the followers of Celaleddin Rumi (Mevlana)-the famous poet of the 13th century. Not everyone can perform the whirling dervish ceremony; they must complete rigorous spiritual and physical training that takes them on a spiritual journey. A Sufi (Sema) is a person who prays, whirls, sings, and says prayers in ceremonies.

What to Expect

When whirling dervishes put on a show, they are following a rite that is full of history and meaning. As a symbol of the ego’s tombstone, the actors wear traditional white robes and tall felt hats. As you spin in a circle with one arm raised to the sky and the other down, the Sema dancers carefully plan their moves to show how heaven and earth are connected.A whirling dervishes show in Cappadocia is a unique and unforgettable cultural experience that showcases the spiritual traditions of Turkey.
