Description “Come, Come again ! Whatever you are… Whether you are infidel, idolater or fireworshipper. Whether you have broken your vows of repentance a hundred times. This is not the gate of despair, this is the gate of hope. Come, come again…” Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi Şeb-i Arus (meaning “Wedding Night” in Persian) is an annual Sufi commemoration marking the death anniversary of Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi (1207–1273), the renowned Persian poet, Islamic scholar, and mystic. In Sufism, Rumi’s death is not seen as an end but as a union with the divine—a spiritual “wedding night” with God. This view aligns with his teachings, which emphasize love, surrender, and the transcendence of the soul beyond the material world. Key Highlights of Şeb-i Arus: Whirling Dervish ceremonies (Sema): Symbolic of the soul’s journey to enlightenment. Recitations and poetry: Rumi’s works are often read or chanted. Musical performances: Sufi music with the ney (reed flute) and tambur (lute) plays an essential role. This event attracts spiritual seekers, Rumi enthusiasts, and Sufi followers from all over the world, offering a unique experience blending mysticism, music, and philosophy.

ABOUT THE EXPERIENCE A Journey into Mystical Tradition: The Whirling Dervishes ceremony, also known as Sema, is a 800-year-old sacred ritual of the Mevlevi Order, founded Sufi mystic Rumi in Konya. This spiritual practice was proclaimed as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity UNESCO in 2005, recognizing its profound cultural significance. What to Expect: Traditional Sema Ceremony Witness the mesmerizing whirling meditation performed trained dervishes in authentic white robes, spinning continuously for extended periods in a state of spiritual ecstasy. Live Classical Music: Experience the haunting sounds of traditional Turkish instruments including ney (reed flute), oud, and kudum drums, accompanying the dancers in perfect harmony. Historic Venue: The ceremony takes place in a beautiful historic venue with stunning Ottoman-era architecture, providing an authentic atmospheric setting. *I would recommend purchasing tickets online.

A wonderful and authentically profound experience of the Sufi ceremony which made a strong impression on us. We appreciated the welcoming and kind atmosphere in the Sufi community! Thank you - we recommend this ceremony far away from the more superficial shows for tourists if you want a genuine experience! Posted on Ai Sha Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was an amazing experience to witness the Sema ceremony. It is a weekly ceremony in an actual monastery. I was in search of an authentic whirling dervish ceremony and I am glad that I found one. The staff was very helpful and hospitable. Clear instructions and video was sent to find the place easily. The introductory video before the ceremony could be shorter. Photos and videos were allowed. Snacks were served. It was a great way to end our trip to Istanbul. Thanks to EMAV for allowing us to be a part of their ceremony Posted on Eren Köseoğlu Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 10 numara 5 yıldız Posted on Jordi Subirana Lladó Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bon espectacle que recomano. Es coneix també els mevleví com a dervixos giradors o giròvags perquè tenen una cerimònia de dansa-meditació, anomenada Sama , que consisteix en una dansa masculina acompanyada per música de flauta i tambors. Els dansaires giren sobre ells mateixos amb els braços estesos, simbolitzant “l'ascendència espiritual cap a la veritat, acompanyats per l'amor i alliberats totalment de l'ego”. La cerimònia es va originar entre els místics de l' Índia i els sufís turcs. El Sama, com a cerimònia mevleví, va ser proclamat el 2005 i inscrit el 2008 a la Llista representativa del Patrimoni Cultural Immaterial de la Humanitat de la Unesco Posted on Yiğit Orel Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
