    Very lovely performance and highly recommend for anyone visiting Istanbul to have this experience. I was a little disappointed with the amount of chattering, whining and moving around behind me by children. The parents did little to control the situation. It was very distracting. The show is definitely not for children under 12 y.o. Something to consider when selling tickets for performances like this.

    It was an experience to watch this spiritual show. A discovery for us to understand the meanings of this dance

    Super friendly and helpful staff, amazing UNESCO performance, but would just rather do something else with the money if budget is limited

    Educational look into Sufism. It was very interesting and a religious ceremony not really a show. Not suitable for children. For anyone interested in exploring different religions, I highly recommend this experience.
