This is a religious style show, so no photos til last dance. It is slow, somber, yet absolutely beautiful. Worth seeing done respectfully. Later in our trip we say a showy/fun dance, very different - glad we saw the true traditional dance here first.
Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon.
We recommend anyone who intends to visit Cappadocia sign up for the tour. It was a beautiful ceremony. Their gestures struck us even though we are not familiar with Islam and do not understand the vocabulary.
Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon.
We went as a family for the whirling dervishes show at Cappadocia. The experience was truly soulful and mesmerizing- a unique experience of live music that seeks to connect the soul with The Supreme God. Thank you Mete for organizing this show at short notice for us.
