Whirling Dervishes Ceremony & Cistern Entry Ticket
Great experience and venue!
My husband and I enjoyed the Whirling Dervish ceremony very much. It was a great cultural experience and having it in an underground cistern made for an interesting atmosphere. The reason for giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the cost of the ticket was quite high. Other Whirling Dervish ceremonies were priced anywhere from $15-25 USD, this ticket was almost twice that. It also lasted about 35 minutes, which didn't feel long enough for the ticket price. Still, it was very enjoyable, the tour operator was very kind and accommodating and overall, we'd recommend if you have the budget.

Not to be missed!
A very spiritual and uplifting experience. To be able to witness this ceremony was a highlight of our visit. After all the hub bub of the markets, this program restores your calm and energy.
