Despite some initial misunderstanding about the booking the managers were attentive and helpful. Curious and very particular experience. There are short explanatory brochures in different languages, but it is useful to browse two pieces of information about the seed first.
Thank you so much for your kind words and appreciation for our team. we wish you happy holidays.
The ceremony itself is very interesting, but they DO NOT WANT YOUNG CHILDREN. So be careful! Tripadvisor made me book for 2 adults + 1 infant but then at the entrance they made a fuss!
We've been to Whirling Dervishes shows before, but this one was traditional and true to their beliefs.
Thank you so much for your kind words and appreciation for our team. we wish you happy holidays.
