Worth the trip for any Molana (or Mevlana) fans. Although I was not a fan of his teachings and poetry, I found the experience calming and educational. Parking will be difficult. Try one of the paid parking lots that are dotted within walking distance

750 years, an amazing spiritual man graced our world. The presence of Mevlana Celaleddin is still available to those with an open heart. But... it would be nicer if a strict silence was enforced, no mobiles or chatting. Anyway, I will continue to visit Mevlana at least once per year, more often if I can. I usually buy some souvenirs from the museum shop, the somewhat higher prices are worthwhile for the quality of product and knowledgeable information of the staff plus a support to maintain Mevlana's resting place.

Clearly a very holy place for Muslims pilgrims who visit from afar. It was very nice of the site manager to allow visitors to visit whilst being respectful of local customs. Enjoyed the experience greatly. Very beautiful arxhotecutr and collection of old Qurans (one dated back to the 9th century!)

Such an inspirational place of tranquillity. A must to see place for anyone interested in learning about Eastern culture and, in particular, Sofi philosophy.

No words to explain the beauty of this place. Steeped in Islamic arts and history. If you are visiting Konya, you are unlikely to escape without spending an hour or two here. Best time to is early morning before the rush sets in so that you can take a close look in peace. While you are sure to enjoy this, don't forget to visit the mosque next door.

This museum was absolutely breathtaking!! Everything from the many small exhibits showing artifacts of what people wore, used and made to the actual architecture of the inside and outside of the museum itself was delightful to the eyes! A very clean and well taken care of historical site. Recommend everyone to see this beautiful place.

The Mevlana Museum is a great place to stop if you’re in the area. If you practise Islam then it is probably a must; especially for those who study Sufism as this museum houses the orders founder. Much of the building is a kind of mausoleum dedicated to him. There is also a lot of information about Sufism and how it’s practiced. One of the key staples of Sufism was developing excellent calligraphy skills and they hand copied a lot of books. You can see many originals here.

It was very crowded. Some rooms were closed. Some exhibits mentioned in the text were not on display. Other than that it was well explained and presented. No ticket required. Free entry

Magical place! İt's a Holly site for many visitors you see people pray extensively. Music helps to create the atmosphere. Except off the shrine and tomb there an exhibition of items, books, clothes that belongs to the cult, same household items and Lifesize wax statutes of monks inside the rooms they used to live.

Came here in September with a tour group. Interesting museum as it also houses the Dervish sect history and artifacts.

Amazing . Must visit. Great cultural, religious, spiritual, and historical importance. Don't forget to visit the nearby Seljuk era Alaadin mosque "inside Alaadin Park".

Peaceful and calm. It’s one of the best museum in Turkey to go&discover. When you come to see Konya, first place that you have to see I can say. You would see and amazed with culture of Sufi and Islam. You will have a chance to see different size of really old Quran’s which is book of Islam..

Beautiful place, Rumi was a man of great wisdom, inside there are many statues depicting stories of his. Graves of many related people. Though no one knows where his body actually buried is. Many artifacts of his era are also there.

It feels peaceful to be there and it’s quite interesting that how different people from all over the world are coming to see this treasure. He’s definitely a call for spirituality and we as humans have it or need it in a certain times of our lives.

Place to visit the tomb of Mevlana (Rumi). A truly cultural experience as many people visit here as a pilgrimage. There is also a relic from the prophet Muhammad. Tourists are welcome but please show respect. It is not enforced for women to wear a head covering, but it's better to bring one and wear it at least inside the building with Rumi's tomb.

The main site in konya nice to see and experience such a historical site it's free if change and has a small museum and close to it there are some place to eat and drink

A fascinating place for those interested in Islamic culture. The museum features exhibits in Sufi cells, many cultural artifacts, and, obviously, the tomb of Rumi. This attraction is free and was very crowded when we visited. No special clothing is required, but most people wore respectful garb.

I cried for a couple hours. Very powerful feeling.. so blessed to have experienced it.

Wonderful crypt with many burials, of course Rumi is the main one, and a room with holy relics. The museum has small separate rooms, each highlighting an aspect of Sufi life. Very well thought out! Worth a visit of a couple of hours at least.

So you've heard of the Whirling Dervish. But where did they come from? Who started the movement? How do you become one? All of these questions and a lot more are answered here. It's busy, but there is enough space for e everyone. Lots to see and take pictures of, or just relax in the grounds. Information boards in English. Free with museum pass.

Amazing place. . The music they play make me Calm and refreshing. U must visit this museum. I make a stop to Konya for this museum only and their dervish

In my opinion most peaceful place in Turkey. People are very humble and its cheap in price specially food. Opposite to mevlana there are restaurants which are delicious and economical

I always wanted to be there. To be in presence of Maulana Rumi. Finally Maulana called me to him and I got the chance to visit him. 😊 This is such a calm place in Turkey. I loved it very very much. Felt the warmth, ruhaniyat and spirituality of the master.. His presence was there. 😊 I am glad I got the chance to visit Maulana in my lifetime. Hope to visit this place again soon. ☺️☺️☺️

It is very important destination to visit in Anatolia consedering that a man who was the biggest phillosofer sufist that effected many author such as Paulo Coelo and Alchamist book. Rumi and his teachings are so important to observe.

Great place to visit..but food and drinks are really expensive (even prices of normal drinks are 3 times high than normal price) ...but tomb is crown of Konya..

Simply love 💘 this place because of many reasons.

Safe & secure to visit, & have a cool evening in a conducive atmosphere.

Majestic place full of beautiful energy. Definitely a must see if you visit Konya. If you love Mevlana (Rumi) you don't want to miss this place, each corner of this museum and mosque is special, full of history and mysticism. I recommend to go during the morning to have enough time to contemplate and connect with the special energy of this place.

Loved visiting this museum. A spiritual place with lots to learn. It's a small museum, so it can get crowded. If your in the vicinity then I'd recommend you pop in. Entry was free.

Having read much Rumi sayings over the years, it was just opportune to visit his final resting place and museum filled with artefacts and other about Islam and his brand of Sufism. Definitely worthwhile to spend time here in peaceful settings.

Marvelous history museum. The leaders are located in this mosque and I could see that they were watching us spiritually visiting their resting place. At the same time it is believed that the box in my reviews has a rose smell from his beard. But the beauty of this place is breathtaking and how well it is being maintained with many tourist visit.

A very cultural experience. Depth of history is amazing. Worth the visit & time spent there. Be aware of the dress & spiritual laws when entering this Mosque/Museum.

This is where the tomb of Jalal uddin Rumi and other dervishes are located. It’s very beautiful and breathtaking, and the pictures don’t quite capture the essence and depth of the place. Inside is also various copies of different Qurans, spanning from the 7th century and onwards, the writings of Rumi and other artifacts. Also their is preserved some of the hair from the beard of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH.

Enjoyed the experience.. Different rooms have its own collections & story Met lots of friendly local student groups.

Amazing place to learn about Turkish history. Beautiful exhibits from clocks clothes to Weapons. Prophet Moses staff was the highlight for us. Do visit if you are in Istanbul.

Interesting visit, plenty to look at & read about, nice walk around the outside as well, some lovely planted flower beds, some parts being worked on

Museum has a lot of places to visit, you can have audioguide for 60 turkish liras for places numbered from 1 to 59. As we all know Rumi’s one of the greatest wellknown person in the world and his greatness only comes from kindness, smartness, gracefullnes, indulgence and his deep respect for Allah (God). To visit his grave and pray to Allah for his soul and for everyone’s goodness is good task to do. Also there is a souvenir shop in the garden to buy original gifts.
