The Sema ceremony represents the mystical journey of man's spiritual ascent through love and his search for truth and perfection. It is believed that once man has returned from his spiritual journey, he can love and be of service to all creatures surrounding him. Tonight, you have the opportunity to experience an authentic Cappadocian ceremony and witness an ancient Turkish ritual.
You will be collected from your accommodation in Cappadocia and transported by luxury air-conditioned transport to the caravanserais, (caravan places). These abodes were built when trade across Turkey in medieval Seljuk times was dependent on camel trains. The buildings provided accommodation for the merchants and stabling for their animals. Today these ancient structures are the site of The Sema.
The ceremony lasts for one hour and during this time your friendly and professional English-speaking guide will talk you through the ceremony and introduce you to Serbet, a traditional religious libation

The Whirling Dervishes was a very solemn and thought provoking show. It was very spiritual and showed traditional Turkish culture.

The overall trip takes about two hours, which is a very special experience. You are not allowed to eat, drink or take photos during the process, but there will be time for taking photos at the end. The singing and music performance of the ceremony are very impressive. It is very worthwhile to be able to enjoy it so close. One of the must-do itineraries when coming to Cappadocia! !

Very good on all points. Very beautiful ceremony, explanations on a brochure in French (quite rare in the region), and best of all, a car came to pick us up in front of the hotel and took us back after the show. Everything is simple and fluid, I really recommend this activity.
