Description: In Cappadocia, Turkey in the heart of Sufism, we saw a wondrous whirling dervish performance in a 13th Century caravanseri. We chatted with the head dervish afterwards and with their permission, I hooped for them. They were in their street clothes. The photos of the Dervishes were taken many years ago when photography was allowed. They do not permit it now.
