Step into the timeless atmosphere of the 13th-century Saruhan Caravanserai and witness one of Turkey’s most spiritual and mesmerizing traditions: the Whirling Dervish Ceremony.

This unforgettable evening takes place inside the atmospheric stone halls of Saruhan, beautifully illuminated and steeped in the mystique of the Seljuk era. As the dervishes perform the Sema, a sacred ritual symbolizing the soul's journey to divine love and unity, you will be transported into a world of silence, grace, and devotion.

The ceremony is not a show, but a spiritual experience – a UNESCO-recognized ritual rooted in the teachings of Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi, the great Sufi mystic and poet. The slow, hypnotic whirling of the dervishes, accompanied by traditional Sufi music, evokes deep reflection and awe.
