Discover Rumi and Seljuk Konya on a Private Day Trip

Meet Your Guide at Konya Airport
After landing at Konya Airport, your private licensed guide and driver will meet you at the exit with a sign displaying your name. You will then travel by private air-conditioned vehicle toward the city center.
Mevlana Museum and Rumi’s Mausoleum
Your first major visit is the Mevlana Museum, the mausoleum of the world-famous mystic, poet and Sufi thinker Jalal ad-Din Rumi, known in Turkey as Mevlana.
Your guide will explain Rumi’s life, his teachings and the development of the Mevlevi tradition. The museum complex also contains historical manuscripts, musical instruments, artworks and objects associated with the spiritual culture of medieval Konya.
Lunch in a Local Boutique Restaurant
After visiting the Mevlana Museum, you will enjoy lunch in a carefully selected local restaurant. We prefer smaller, comfortable restaurants instead of crowded open-buffet venues used by large tour groups.
Karatay Madrasah
