Would recommend to anyone - enter with an open mind and let the experienced take you. It truly is a religious ceremony you're witnessing, it's wondrous.
The information in the displays (before or after the performance) really help to put things into perspective.

Excellent cultural experience. The dedication of everyone involved was clearly seen. Learning about the Sufi sect of Islam was a good learning experience.

Enlightening journey into Islamic Sufism. More detailed explanation of the ritual that you witness would be appreciated

Good. Experience. Worth it to attend the show. I liked also they give you free water. I dislike they don’t allow to take pictures

This was billed as spiritual and entertainment. It was boring, religious and a total waste of time. The performers themselves are clearly good and talented, but half the people that walked out with us though this was the biggest waste they ever went to. Most of them will probably not review it.
I wish we understood more of what it was about. I can see some people enjoying it, but it was clearly religious and not entertaining at all for our group.
