Illuminated Tours program to Turkey (and Morocco).
Our next tour is now set for Turkey, and the dates are October 1-12th, 2019.
This program is open to anyone, from every age group and background. As in the previous years, what sets this program apart is a combination of on-site expert-led lectures, boutique accommodations, and the company of fellow seekers. We have been offering this program since 2002, and have had some 750 participants from 15 countries join us.
We will begin in the majestic city of Istanbul, and move on to Bursa, Cappadocia, and Ankara before a pilgrimage to Rumi’s shrine in Konya, and return again to Istanbul.
Registration is open now, and we would be delighted to have you and any friends join us. The Turkey program does tend to fill up relatively quickly, so I encourage you to look at http://www.illuminatedtours.com/2019-turkey-itinerary-and-cost.html and be in touch should you be interested in signing up. I am also happy to answer any questions you may have.
All the best,
Omid Safi
