The Sema ritual signifies the mystical voyage of a person’s spiritual climb through love, in the quest for truth and perfection. It’s traditionally thought that once a person has completed this spiritual expedition, they’re capable of loving and serving all beings around them. This evening, you’re invited to join a genuine Pamukkale ritual and observe a timeless Turkish custom.

You’ll be picked up from your lodging in Pamukkale and transported in a luxury, air-conditioned vehicle to the Dervish house. These dwellings date back to the Seljuk era, when Turkey’s trade depended on camel caravans. These residences served as a resting place for merchants and their animals. Currently, these historical edifices host The Sema.

The ritual spans one hour, and throughout this period, your amicable and proficient English-speaking guide will explain the intricacies of the ceremony to you and familiarize you with Serbet, a conventional religious potion.
