Itinerary

A private vehicle picks you up from your Cairo or Giza hotel in the early evening for the tanoura show at Wekalet El Ghouri, driving you through central Cairo into the Islamic Cairo district as the city's evening lights come on.
Transfer to Wekalet El Ghouri
Your driver drops you at this restored 16th-century caravanserai in the heart of Islamic Cairo, originally built as a trading complex and now used as a performing arts venue. Its stone courtyard and elevated stage host the Wekalet El Ghouri performance most evenings of the week.
Tanoura Show Performance
You watch dancers in multi-layered, weighted skirts spin continuously through each set, accompanied by live drums and traditional Sufi devotional music for roughly 45 minutes. Afterward, the same vehicle takes you back to your Cairo or Giza hotel, closing out the 3 to 4 hour evening.
