GOOD TO KNOW
Before the ceremony
Atmosphere
This is a quiet seated programme. Conversation, movement and phone use should be kept to a minimum.
Photography
Rules vary and may restrict photography. Follow the venue's announcement rather than assuming it is permitted.
Food and entertainment
Do not expect the meal-and-dance format of a Turkish night unless a separate package explicitly states it.
QUICK ANSWERS
Sema ceremony questions
Is the whirling dervish ceremony a show?
It is better understood as a formal cultural and spiritual ceremony with religious elements and established etiquette.
Can I take photographs?
Venue rules vary and can restrict photography. Follow the instructions given for the confirmed programme.
Is dinner included?
Usually the sema programme is separate from a Turkish night dinner show. Any inclusion is stated in your confirmation.
