Absolutely Fantastic!!

The venue is gorgeous and really adds to the program. Seating is first come, first seated so get there early! The musicians and dancers are so professional, this is NOT a Las Vegas act. It's beautifully done and I would go to see it over and over again. Our driver, Khalid was very careful and skilled and our guide, Mubarak was absolutely a joy. He went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience ever!

Operator response

Dear Debbi, Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the Sufi dancing and Tanoura show, and that the venue, musicians, and dancers made such a lasting impression. It’s also fantastic to know that Khalid and Mubarak contributed to making your experience seamless and memorable. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with them! Warm regards, Misk Tours

Spinning dancers

The discussions with the tour guild and the beautiful location. The venue was historic and the program was very educational. First we had dinner and tea at a local market. We were able to interact with the local community. The food was delicious. Our tour operator made food recommendations and turned out great.

Must do experience

I loved everything about this tour I’m so glad I went! Islam was the perfect guide, I hope everyone gets the chance to have this experience. We got to the show about an hour early, saved some really good seats and went out into the market until the show started. I would highly recommend!
