Some history: The practice of Tanoura or Sufi whirling is a type of meditation that originated among Sufis over 700 years ago. The word “Tanoura” may refer to the dance, dancer, or the large skirt used in the performance.

Sufism is the spiritual tradition known to many Westerners through the mystical poetry of Rumi and Hafiz. Sufism is a mystical tradition dating back two millennia. It is generally understood to be the mystical dimension of Islam, and the practitioner of this tradition is known as Sufi or “Dervish.” The word is Persian in origin and literally means “the sill of the door”, but it is used by the Arabic and Turkish language to describe the Sufi, who is the one who is at the door to enlightenment.

Wow, nice theatre !

Is that a kinda "open air" theatre Henk ?

Normally the background is distracting while shooting theatre but over here it's complementary.
Like in a kinda opera play.

Nice

Thanks, Velu. Some info:
The mamluk-era Al-Ghouri Caravansaray is one of Cairo's best preserved examples of a medieval hotel. Built in the early 16th century it has now been converted into a cultural center hosting concerts and dance performances.
