Whirling Dervish Ceremony

About this tour

Mevlana’s words of wisdom still ring true to this day – there is indeed a light at the end of
every difficulty. Even when our hands are wounded from thorns and soaked in blood, we must
hold on to hope and keep pushing forward, for we are closer than ever to reaching and
touching the rose that awaits us.
To understand SUFI philosophy and its basic principles, you need to explore the
meaning of the human soul. Understanding the details and complexities of the human soul is
important because it is the foundation of the SUFI belief system and a critical part of the
journey to spiritual enlightenment.
As Mevlana once proclaimed; Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, worshiper, lover of
leaving. It does not matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. Come, even if you have broken
your vows a thousand times. Come, yet again, come, come; These words remind us that we
are all welcome in the journey toward enlightenment, regardless of our past mistakes or
missteps.
During this one-hour experience in a caravanserai – an ancient inn where caravans would stop
for safety and rest while traversing the Silk Road – you will witness the rituals and practices of
SUFI worshippers. Every step of the way has a deep meaning behind it, and the
accompanying music will surely evoke your inner self and transport you to another realm.
This is an opportunity of a lifetime, one that should not be missed by anyone seeking a truly
unforgettable experience that will leave a lasting impact on their soul and spirit.
