We'll pick you up in your hotel in Cairo in the evening and from there we'll take you to Ghoria, an area of the Egyptian capital where we can enjoy the essence and the spirit of the Fatimid Caliphate - the Shia Islamic spanned across northern Africa from the Red Sea in the east to the Atlantic in the West, dominating the north of Africa for more than two centuries.
Having arrived there, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy a show from the world famous Whirling Dervishes. This incredible spectacle, born of the mystical tradition of Sufi Islam. In fact, Dervish itself means 'he who looks for the doors' - a nod to the otherworldly character of this enigmatic dance. Thorugh elegant and mysterious twists and turns, the dancers and mystics look to find a connection with divinity, with you present, surrounded by the music and the dance.

Whirling dinner
Abdu picked me up on time and took me to dinner. A wonderful local place full of Egyptians. This was not a tourist joint. I had a nice walking tour of the area and then went to the 14th century Fort to see the show.. It was absolutely terrific everything I expected. Well worth the money. something you shouldn’t miss when in Cairo.
