Dervishes Dance Show

We are happily offer you a very special event which is a form of physically active meditation which originated among certain Sufi groups,  still practiced by the Sufi Dervishes of the maolawiyah order other orders such as the Rifa'i. It is a customary meditation practice performed within the senna, or worship ceremony, through which dervishes aim to reach the source of all perfection, or karma. This is sought through abandoning one's desires, by listening to the music, focusing on ALLAH, and spinning one's body in repetitive circles, which has been seen as a symbolic imitation of planets in the Solar System orbiting the sun. The Malawian practice gave rise to an Egyptian form, tanoura, distinguished by the use of a multicolored skirt. This has also developed into a performance dance by non-Sufis, including dancers outside the Islamic world. After the show we can take you to Khan El-Khalili and  enjoy pancake dinner at one of the specialized restaurants in the area
