Lonely Planet review for Al-Tannoura Egyptian Heritage Dance Troupe

Egypt’s only Sufi dance troupe – far more raucous and colourful than white-clad Turkish dervishes – puts on a mesmerising performance at the Wikala of Al-Ghouri. It’s a great opportunity to see one of the medieval spaces in use; arrive about an hour ahead to secure a seat.

    A great way to start an evening in Khan al-Kalili.

    The guards at the front might ask for a few Dinar despite the fact that this is a free performance.
