After picking up our valued guests from the designated points, we begin our overnight journey for the Konya Şeb-i Arus Tour.

On the 2nd day of our Konya Şeb-i Arus Tour, we will begin our tour accompanied by our guide after breakfast taken at leisure. 

First, following a bus tour around Alaaddin Mosque on Alaaddin Hill, completed by Alaeddin Keykubad I, we visit the Karatay Madrasa Tile Works Museum, which holds an important place in Anatolian Seljuk-period tile craftsmanship and where Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi and his teacher Shams-i Tabrizi taught their lessons. Continuing our tour, we visit the İnceminare Madrasa (Stone and Wood Works Museum), built during the reign of Seljuk Sultan Izzettin Keykavus II by Vizier Sahip Ata Fahreddin Ali for the teaching of hadith. As our excursion continues, we take a lunch break after visiting the Üçler Tomb and the 16-segmented Green Dome (Kubbe-i Harda) located directly behind the Mevlana Museum, the Selimiye Mosque, the Mevlana Tomb where Mevlana and his father Sultan-ul Ulema Bahaeddin Veled are located, the Mevlevi garments, musical instruments, table setting, and Mevlevi Lodge. After lunch, following visits to the Tomb of Shams-i Tabriz, who ignited the light within Mevlana that made him Mevlana, and the tomb of Shams-i Tabrizi, the teacher of Hz. Mevlana, we depart for the Collection Store, where we will have the opportunity to see specially produced Mevlana collections unique to the region and do some shopping. After the free time given here, we set off for our hotel. Later, departing from our hotel, we go to the hall to watch the Mevlevi ceremonies held as part of the commemoration ceremonies for the anniversary of the union with God of the great Islamic thinker and Sufi, Hz. Mevlana. Following the Sema Ceremony, during which the whirling dervishes and spectators become enraptured, we return to our hotel. Overnight at our hotel.

On the 3rd day of our Konya Şeb-i Arus Tour, after breakfast, we depart from our hotel and set off toward Meram Vineyards, one of the most beautiful places in Konya. We visit the tomb of Tavus Baba (Tuzcu Baba), whose real name was Muhammed El-bini, a scholar and psychologist of his time who was frequently visited by Mevlana. Afterwards, we depart for Sille, located 8 km northwest of Konya, an important town due to its location on the Silk and Spice Routes during the Seljuk and Ottoman periods. After taking a panoramic tour of this town, which was visited many times by the Mevlevi Dervishes living in Konya, we go to the Butterfly Garden, which was established on an area of  2,500 square meters and features Europe's largest butterfly flight area, where you will have the opportunity to observe butterflies in their natural habitats. We will visit the Butterfly Garden, which is Turkey's first museum to hold LEED certification. The Butterfly Garden is a venue covering an area of 2,050 square meters, designed with artificial rocks and ponds, where butterflies can be observed in their natural habitats. After our visit to the Butterfly Garden, we depart for Akşehir, where the tomb of Nasreddin Hodja is located, a figure whose tomb has attracted the attention of people around the world and whose stories have been passed down from mouth to mouth. After visiting the tomb of Nasreddin Hodja, who became famous as a Great Religious Scholar, a distinguished person, a virtuous man, and a philosopher, and completing our prayers, we begin our return journey to Istanbul. Traveling via Afyon, Kütahya, Bilecik, and Adapazarı, we arrive in Istanbul at night. We bid farewell to you, our valued guests, after dropping you off at the departure points from which we picked you up, until we meet again on another occasion...
