Pamukkale Dervish Show

This show provides an opportunity to interact with Dervishes culture and ideology. Dervishes are Sufi Muslim Ascetics who live, by choice, in conditions of austerity and extreme poverty. According to their philosophy, the ultimate goal of life is to reach the God. Thus, through austerity, poverty, and physical performance they are trying to devalue their ego. According to folklore tradition, Dervishes have the unique power of doing miracles due to the connection they share with God.

The Dervishes Show in Pamukkale lasts for almost one hour. During this time, you will watch the iconic Mevlevi Sema Ceremony. The performance is a symbolization of the several stages that Dervishes are passing in order to reach their ultimate goal, God. The performance begins with a prayer to Prophet Mohammed. By the end of this first act, the Dervishes take their place on the stage and present the outstanding performance known as the Circling of Veled.

    Phenomenal! A show that can easily stand in international theatres. What we saw that night was the definition of excellence. The whole atmosphere was sensational, extremely mystical at an extent that we felt like we were part of the ceremony. It was so nice to watch the circling dance. I’ve seen many pictures of it online and I always wanted to witness it. My friends and I had an incredible evening it was a great idea to book. Everything was perfect, the ceremony was well executed and it looks like they carefully designed every single detail. Do see the show, it’s simply incredible.

    Been with my parents last month and I can’t forget the dervish show. The lighting, the music, everything was on point. We really wanted to discover Turkish cultures and we booked few tours with this company, the dervish show was one of them. It gives you the impression that it is an evening outing, but in fact it is a great option to observe cultural and religious elements. Such a nice performance, extremely professional. My parents were thrilled, so do I. I recommend the dervishes ceremony, even if you are not really into cultural things it is still an incredible thing to witness.

    Easy booking, great show, amazing memories!! I watched the ceremony a couple of days ago. The venue is stunning, once in you feel immediately what’s about to follow. The show got me emotional and the meanings behind each element are so strong. I wish it lasted for more I could spend my whole night there, seriously. It’s immersive and gets you emotionally involved. I also feel like mentioning about the booking. Very simple and straight forward. The customer service rocks! I’m so full of memories now! it was an outstanding performance like no other. 100% recommended experience if you are in Pamukkale.
