Spiritual experience - It was crowded but the experience was spiritual and enlightening. I have visited the Konya mosques and watched them dance there. It is such an out of the body experience. I loved how well organized it was.

Beautiful and Healing - Beautiful spiritual experience! I’ve gone to others and this one was definitely a great one. Less touristic and intimate.. the orchestra and dervishes were authentic and pure. Definitely recommended !

Awe inspiring experience - Would recommend to anyone - enter with an open mind and let the experienced take you. It truly is a religious ceremony you're witnessing, it's wondrous.
The information in the displays (before or after the performance) really help to put things into perspective.

Non-immersive - Hodjapasha
Excellent presentation of the spiritual whirling dervishes.
Wish it was a more immersive experience with better explanation on what was going on.

Authentic religious experience rather than entertainment - This is more about me than the actual experience. This is an authentic "religious experience and I was expecting more of an entertaining experience. Perhaps the synpsis of the experience could have been a little clearer.
