By evening, we booked a dinner on the Nile and were entertained by
the "twirling men" of Egypt, known as the Tanoura dance, a
traditional folk dance based on Sufi whirling. Performed by men
wearing brightly coloured, multi-layered skirts. I believe the dance
symbolises the connection between the land and sky, and man and
God. The continuous spinning can be hypnotic, and I understand each
colour on the skirt has a different meaning.
