The Mevlana Museum, Alaeddin Hill, the madrasas and the village of Sille are visited with a guide. It is planned for department and project teams of 8-35 who join by air or road and want to hear about this spiritual heritage on site. ### What is in the programme? After a Konya-style breakfast, the group heads to the Mevlana Museum, whose green-tiled dome is the symbol of the city. Mevlevi [culture](https://kurumsalgeziler.com/en/tour-categories/culture-and-city-programmes) is explained through the tomb of Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi, who died in 1273, manuscripts of the Masnavi and the former dervish lodge sections. At the Tomb of Shams of Tabriz, the bond between the two thinkers is discussed. The group then climbs Alaeddin Hill and visits the Alaeddin Mosque, which houses the tombs of Seljuk sultans. Before lunch, the group visits either the İnce Minareli Madrasa, known for its 13th-century stone portal, or the Karatay Madrasa, known for its tile decoration. Lunch features etli ekmek, fırın kebabı and okra soup. In the afternoon, in Sille to the north-west of the city, the group sees the stone houses and churches where Greek and Turkish communities lived side by side for centuries, along with the view over the dam. The day ends with a tasting of Mevlana sugar and local sweets; on request, an evening sema ceremony can be added. ### Highlights - A detailed account of Mevlevi culture and the Masnavi at the Mevlana Museum - Key examples of Seljuk architecture at Alaeddin Hill and the madrasas - A visit to the village of Sille outside the city, with its multi-layered past - An optional evening sema ceremony ### Who Is It For? It suits department and project teams of 8-35, and offers meaningful content for organisations and executive groups that want to place values such as tolerance, dialogue and self-reflection at the centre of a team programme. Physical effort is light to moderate, with short slopes at Alaeddin Hill and in Sille. ### Planning Notes - The city is very busy during the Şeb-i Arus ceremonies around 17 December, the anniversary of Mevlana's death; early planning is required for this period. - Modest clothing suitable for covering up, and quiet behaviour, are expected in the tombs and mosques. - Museum entry, the sema ceremony, flights and meals are not included in the package; Çatalhöyük is not part of the programme because of the distance. - Summer afternoons are hot and dry; the Sille visit can be moved to a cooler time of day. ** ### Additional Services ** Professional guiding ** Corporate event planning ** Tour coordination support ** A tour programme tailored to your group ** Transport by vehicle within Konya ** Konya Airport - Konya city centre - airport transfers (for groups arriving by air) ## Corporate Fit - Suitable Team Size Department and project teams of 8-35 - Segment Standard - Extra Features Local economy, Low carbon, Low waste, Accessible Corporate Program Summary The Konya corporate trip is a full-day guided programme covering the Mevlana Museum, Alaeddin Hill, the İnce Minareli or Karatay Madrasa and Sille, for teams of 8-35. ## Included Services / Excluded Services - Professional guiding - Corporate event planning - Tour coordination support - A tour programme tailored to your group - Transport by vehicle within Konya - Konya Airport - Konya city centre - airport transfers (for groups arriving by air) - Flights (can be added as an optional extra service) - Food and drink (breakfast, lunch, snacks, coffee breaks) - Museum and archaeological site entry fees - Sema ceremony fee (optional) - Visit to Çatalhöyük (long distance - requires additional cost and time) - Personal shopping - Transfers to the airport from surrounding provinces (additional service) ## Tour Gallery ![Konya Corporate Trip](https://cdn.kurumsalgeziler.com/storage/tours/detail/140-detail-20260409002854.webp) ** ** ## Tour & Event Plan 06:00-07:30: Before the flight from Istanbul / Ankara / İzmir Airport transfer before the flight from Istanbul / Ankara / İzmir (optional, for those coming from surrounding provinces) 08:30-09:00: Arrival at Konya Airport Arrival at Konya Airport, welcome by the guide and transfer to Konya city centre (groups arriving by air) / gathering at the meeting point in Konya city centre (groups travelling by road) 09:15: Traditional Konya breakfast (Konya simit, cheeses, olives Traditional Konya breakfast (Konya simit, a selection of cheeses, olives, honey, clotted cream, eggs, tea) 10:15: Visit to the Mevlana Museum Visit to the Mevlana Museum - the life and works of Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi, the Masnavi, the tomb and Mevlevi culture 11:30: Visit to the Mosque and Tomb of Shams of Tabriz Visit to the Mosque and Tomb of Shams of Tabriz - an account of the spiritual bond between Mevlana and Shams 12:00: Visit to the Alaeddin Mosque and Alaeddin Hill Visit to the Alaeddin Mosque and Alaeddin Hill - Seljuk-era architecture and a panorama of Konya 12:45: İnce Minareli Madrasa (Museum of Stone and Wood Works) Visit to the İnce Minareli Madrasa (Museum of Stone and Wood Works) or the Karatay Madrasa (Tile Museum) 13:30: Lunch - Konya's signature dishes Lunch - Konya's signature dishes: etli ekmek, fırın kebabı, okra soup, ayran 15:00: Tour of the ancient settlement of Sille Tour of the ancient settlement of Sille - Greek and Ottoman traces, the historic village of Sille, the view over Sille Dam, stone houses and churches 16:30: Short break - Konya coffee or sherbet 17:00: Local tasting break - Mevlana bükmesi, pişmaniye and Konya sugar 18:00: Optional - sema ceremony (Mevlevi ritual - on request, in the evening) 19:00: Dinner (optional, can be added on request - local restaurant) 20:30: Airport transfer (groups arriving by air) or end of the tour in the city centre Airport transfer (groups arriving by air) or end of the tour in the city centre (groups travelling by road) 22:30-23:00: Arrival in Istanbul / Ankara / İzmir Arrival in Istanbul / Ankara / İzmir and transfer from the airport to the surrounding provinces (optional) ## FAQ How can I join the tour from outside Istanbul, Ankara and İzmir?
