In Makadi Bay (near to Hurghada) I spotted this Tannoura dancer! really a supershow!
Breath-taking, take a closer look to the children sitting at the front row! And the wonderful umbrella's

Sufism is a spiritual art practiced in many countries. It has some Islamic background although it contradicts with some other Islamic beliefs according to some Islamic scholars.
Tannoura is a sufi dance accompanied by oriental music. The dancers wearing big colorful skirts spin with the beats at very high speeds forming a great color show which is candy to the eye ... and to the camera :) especcialy by night!
