Step inside a 550-year-old Ottoman Turkish bath in Sultanahmet-Sirkeci and take your place. Learn more about the Mevlevi Sema from the provided booklet.

Marvel at this cultural dance that dates back 800 years. The programme begins with a classical Turkish music concert. See the dervishes and sheikh take their place and praise the Prophet Mohammed.
