The Mevlevis are also known as the "whirling dervishes" due to their famous practice of whirling while performing dhikr (remembrance of God). Dervish is a common term for an initiate of the Sufi path; whirling is part of the formal sema ceremony and the participants are properly known as semazens. #travelgoals #fblifestyle #travelphotography #travelblog #traveltheworld #travelblogger #luxurytravel #travelpics #2025goals #sam_mayfair | Sam Mayfair
