Phenomenal!!! One of the best experiences ever! Saw many pictures of this performance and wanted to attend. The location was breath-taking, once we entered, we felt the vibes of the place and realised it was going to be an incredible show. The dervishes performed everything to perfection. Their dances filled us with emotions and in the end, I was overwhelmed with the whole show. One thing I realised is that every move, every act has a meaning and there is a long history and deep culture when it comes to dervishes. Don’t miss it if you are in Istanbul!! It’s a must!!!
