Whirling Dervishes Show

Most people are familiar with Turkey's Whirling Dervishes show, but few are aware of their long past or the meaning of their whirling. As a member of Sufism and the Mevlevi Order, they have a tradition dating back over 700 years.

As a kind of dhikr, the Dervishes ‘whirl' in these 7th-century performances. These performances started as a weekly remembrance of God, attended by the entire Mevlevi communities. The dervishes' white robe represents the funeral robe, and their turban represents the human ego's tombstone. They arrive on stage wearing black cardigans, which represent the crypt, which they remove before beginning to whirl. All of these reflect a person's regeneration on the road to being the "ideal human being." They open their arms to the heavens while whirling, signaling to God that they are happy to accept his love and gift.

 

Dolmabahce Palace

 

Dolmabahce Palace, which attracts both domestic and international visitors in Istanbul, is a must-see destination. There is a lot to discover about the Dolmabahce Palace. You can first hear about Dolmabahce Palace's past. Dolmabahce Palace is one of the most beautiful buildings of the 19th century, attracting visitors from all over the world.

Abdülmecit was the first person to reside in Dolmabahce Palace and to conduct official business there. Abdülaziz, Abdulmecit's brother, lived in this palace after him. Dolmabahce Palace is significant for the Turkish nation since it is where Mustafa Kemal Ataturk died. In Istanbul, it was also used as Ataturk's presidential residence. The Harem, Mabeyn, Clock Tower, and Dolmabahce Mosque are among the structures found inside Dolmabahce Palace. The palace has 285 rooms and 46 lounges, as well as 6 baths and 68 bathrooms, and is spread over 110 thousand square meters.
