Sufi Shrines of Istanbul

Are you interested in learning more about religious practices and beliefs in Turkey? Join us for a unique tour that explores Sufism and its philosophy. A Sufi is a Muslim mystic who seeks to have a personal experience of God directly through meditation and prayer. In the case of the Sema ceremony, for example, the whirling movement is a religious ritual of meditation and prayer. People who follow Sufism focus on self-control and discipline that enables them to gain mental and mystical insights from God. They gain more of God and less of their "self". They have many rituals and practices such as writing and reciting poetry and hymns. In fact, some of the most famous literature of the Islamic world was written by Sufis. Each Order of Sufism practices their devotional acts at different times on different days, so when and where we visit on our tours will change accordingly. Each day will be a unique experience! To give you an idea, Mevleviye, Cerrahiye, Celvetiye and Nakshibendiye are some of the places on our list. We hope your tour will be a memorable one and we look forward to see you in the future on another TravelShop Booking Tour. Have a safe trip back home and thanks for choosing TravelShop Booking.
