Sufi Pilgrimages: Maulana Rumi Shrine (Museum) visit- Travel Guide
The garden outside the shrine is
called Rose Garden for reason obvious. Konya,
like the rest of Turkey, boasts a huge variety of
flowers and especially the fruit tastes better than
anywhere else.
As you enter the gate of the shrine, you will see
graves of many personalities with most having a
mevlevi style turban on the headstone. One of the
striking one is a tombstone of Allama Iqbal
(Muhammad Ekbal), which is not the actual final
resting place of the great philosopher but an
honour granted to Allama for his immense
reverence for Mevlana Rumi, see below.
