We live the real Egypt: While learning anthropological observation techniques, we interview and observe local people, gaining insight into the culture in which these dances emerge. 

The real Egypt is filled with vibrant people and colorful dance!

The real Egypt is not just the inside of the 5-star hotels, 

not just a bus rushing to take us to artifacts behind glass.
