The Sema ceremony represents a mystical journey of man's spiritual ascent through love, finding the truth and reaching "Perfect". Then he returns from this spiritual journey as a man who has reached maturity and perfection to love and serve all creatures regardless of faith, class or race. With the Cappadocia Whirling Dervish Hat (the tombstone of his ego) and his white skirt (the cover of his ego), the dervish is spiritually born into the truth. When he takes off his black cloak, he travels and progresses from the heavens to spiritual maturity. Keeping his arms crossed at the beginning and at every stage of the Sema, he represents the number one and bears witness to the oneness of Allah.

Seeing the whirling dervishes was one of our very pleasant experience while in Turkye. We wanted to see something special, something that is Turkish, that we can only see it in Tyurkie, and for us, this was it! The show took place in the old and beautiful Saruhan Caravanserai outside Avanos. There were not too many people watching, then the walls of the old caravanserai, the music, the prayers and the whirling of the dervishes took us to a different world and made it for a very pleasant experience indeed.

Witnessing what looks like a religious and well choreographed but after 5 minutes of 4 guys whirling around I looked around the almost empty place also yawning and getting tired. It’s a great culture but so repetitive and not for same spinning for an hour. It’s too long save time and enjoy views at a restaurant sipping wine while enjoying beautiful sunset.

The program started on time at 6pm. It was a short ceremony ( about 40 min) . In my opinion, the duration was perfect - since we still get to see the whirling dervishes , but also do get too bored. Highly recommend. The guide picked us up from the hotel and dropped us back.
