Whirling dervishes are followers of a mystical artistic practice that combines Sufi dance and meditation. They are also known as Mevlevis, and their whirling practice is a form of dhikr or remembrance of God.
The whirling dervish ceremony in Istanbul, Turkey, also known as the Mevlevi “Sema” ceremony, is a religious practice that uses music, prayer, and dance to help dervishes become one with Allah. Get tickets through Viator starting at $37!
