Good experience - really enjoyed it. I wish there was more background on the dervish life style, poetry and Melvana Rumis life. Overall good experience.

this is a fantastic oppty to learn about what the dervishes represent . The venue and the show are fabulous and should be experienced by anyone who travels through Istanbul

Highly recommend - such an amazing experience.

The show should be half an hour - was good but too long and repetitive

I was concerned that this would feel a bit gimmicky but it was nothing like that at all. The show is done in a very respectful way- no photos, filming or clapping allowed. The premise of the performance is to share the Sufi tradition with the world and protect this very spiritual ritual from disappearing. It was a really wonderful experience and the pre-performance exhibition is really informative. I definitely recommend seeing this in one of your evenings in Istanbul. However, if you have children with you then give it a miss, they will be bored. Instead, do take them to see the Rhythm of the Dance show, also at Hodjapasha, which is brilliant.

Great show

Worth seeing although it was a long show and I'm not sure I'd see again. The location is historic and central in the old part of Istanbul.

A must-see experience in Istanbul.

It was good for cultural experience.

It's important to appreciate the spiritual aspect of this. I went with different expectations. It seemed disrespectful of the sacredness of this event and to be part of an audience to be entertained. That being said, the location was ideal for such the cultural experience it was.
