No photographs or clapping as this one is not a performance but their daily ritual. Once they are finished their ceremony you have a brief five minutes to take photos whilst they whirl for you and then they just disappear. It is a well worth experience.

Because they said no photos during the performance we did no bring cameras and regretted it. The building, a restored caravansary is gorgeous and after the service is finished they give you a few minutes to take photos of the dervishes themselves.
