About this tour

You’re collected from your hotel and driven to the hall. The dervishes turn in their white robes, one hand raised to the sky and the other turned to the earth, while an audio guide explains the history of the ceremony, what each movement stands for and how it connects to the teachings of Rumi (Mevlana). It lasts about an hour, and afterwards you can meet the performers.
