RUMI: “Beyond right and wrong”
Rumi was a charming, wealthy nobleman, a genius theologian and a brilliant but sober scholar from Anatolia who lived in the 13th century.

In 2011, he founded The Other Tour, offering unique, off-the-beaten-path experiences that go beyond typical tourist routes. Now also running this travel agency, Fethi can help plan personalized trips in Istanbul or across Turkey, ensuring an authentic and unforgettable journey.
