The Home of Rumi: Konya, Turkey Part 1

Описание: Come with me on a visit to Sufi poet Rumi's home, Konya, Turkey!

Rumi's verses are all over social media and peppered throughout inspirational books. His words have seen me through dark times, and planted seeds that grew into towering trees of expansion and enlightenment. It was an honour to visit his home, where he met and loved Shams of Tabriz, where he worshipped, where he wrote his heart-filled poems, and where he was laid to rest. I'll show you inside the building that houses his tomb, countless works of art, and the resting places of many of his followers.

But Rumi is not the only beautiful thing in Konya! We also visit the bazaar near Rumi's tomb, where you can buy just about anything your heart desires, from roasted nuts to princess dresses (for young and old), to kitchen knives and sneakers. Then we'll head to the Konya Archeological Museum, a strange and dusty place housing artefacts over 9,000 years old. From there, on to the Karatay Madressi Museum, a tile museum in a former school for devoted artists. Finally, a taste of Konya, with a very satisfying lunch of a local favourite: etliekmek.

Konya is a bustling city now, but you can still feel the resonance of the way it used to be. This is part 1 of 2; in next week's video I return to Konya to take in the Panorama Museum dedicated to Rumi's life, and a demonstration of sema, the dance of the Whirling Dervishes!

I'm a solo female traveler and aspiring digital nomad. In July 2021 I bought a one way ticket to Europe, and left a few weeks later! My channel features content about travel, solo travel and being a digital nomad. I'm also a witch, a Tarot reader, an artist, and a yoga practitioner, so I'll have plenty of videos about magick, being a witch on the road, working with Tarot, and pretty drawings!
