About this asset

Tanoura (التنورة) performers spin in full rotation during a live folkloric show at the Ibda'a Center inside Wikalat Al-Ghoury, a 16th-century Mamluk caravanserai on Al-Azhar Street in the Al-Hussain neighborhood of historic Islamic Cairo. The dancers hold illuminated parasols while their layered, multicolored skirts fan outward under theatrical colored stage lighting against the stone facade of the historic building. Tanoura is an Egyptian folk art form rooted in Sufi whirling traditions, performed regularly at Wikalat Al-Ghoury as part of Egypt's cultural heritage preservation programs.
