The show was great and it can be a sleep inducing experience for those with a low attention span. They will assign you your seats so you won't have to scramble to find your seats.

A very good experience, a local religious experience. It is an activity that will make you fall asleep, but those who are interested will want to experience the local folk customs.

A very enjoyable show set in a historic building with a lot of information about Rumi and Sufism in plaques before entering the chamber. The service from Veronika was excellent. Quick communication and clear instructions made the entry effortless.

Absolutely amazing! The performers are very dedicated, or are they really just performing? How can they spin so many times (including spinning on their own axis and revolving around the stage) without getting dizzy? They themselves are an unsolved mystery. Highly recommended experience (no photos or videos allowed inside).

Although I fell asleep for a while, it was still a very special experience. The process was very solemn and there was no applause in the performance.
