It is an Egyptian "Tanoura" show inspired by the mystical practices of the dervishes, which has turned into popular folklore, presented in many places in Egypt, including the archaeological Ghouri Palace Theater, which dates back to Sultan qansuh Al-Ghouri, the last Mamluk sultan in Egypt.
"I choose the colors and shapes that adorn theTanoura myself," said Mohammed Adel, who inherited the art of tanoura dancing from his father and grandfather, on Al-Mu'izz Street next to the Thuraya neighborhood, moments before he took to the stage with his purple skirt decorated in green and yellow colors.

According to some, Tanoura can be described as an evolved representation of Sufi whirling dervishes, an important part of Sufism, known for its mysticism and spiritual mode of worship.

Cairo hosts a lot of Tanoura Folkloric Shows, especially in the evenings in the entertainment venues and in the tourist regions. Wekalet El Ghouri in Islamic Cairo, El Dammah Theater in the Al-Azhar neighborhood, and certain Nile River cruise ships that include supper and entertainment packages are a few of the well-liked places to see the performance.

The majority of Egyptians can comprehend or speak a few words in English. German, Italian, Spanish, and French may be spoken by certain Egyptians. Our knowledgeable guides are accustomed to working with guests who do not understand Arabic, and they will converse in English and other languages to accommodate the majority of tourists' demands.

Saqqara is a big place in Egypt where ancient Egyptians buried their kings. It is south of Cairo and has the oldest pyramid in Egypt, called the Step Pyramid of Djoser. Saqqara is also the biggest place in Egypt where people dig up old things from the past.
