Drum, Music, Dance Holiday In Egypt - 2009.mov
PLEASE NOTE - WE ARE NOT CURRENTLY RUNNING THESE HOLIDAYS AT THIS TIME.
Middle Eastern Music, Drum and Dance Holiday in The Sinai, Egypt and Musical and Cultural Tour Of Cairo. For several years we took small groups to the Sinai to learn about the Music, Dance and Drumming found across the Arabic/N.African/Turkish countries.
Accommodation and tuition takes place at the wonderful RockSea Camp. Run by a German couple with many years experience living and working in the Sinai and employing Bedouin staff, the Camp affords a very tranquil experience of staying in the Sinai on the Gulf Of Aqaba overlooking Saudi Arabia and has it's own private Coral Reef to explore.
There are daily classes in Middle Eastern Dance with Carmen Jones - see Arabic Music with Maren Lueg - see and Arabic Percussion with Chas Whitaker - see arabicdrum.co.uk
Several excursions and day trips are available e.g. Camel rides and overnight stays in the desert, trek up Mount Sinai, walks through the Coloured Canyon etc. Evening entertainment involves local musicians visiting to play concerts after delicious meals in the Bedouin tent. Accommodation is in huts made with mainly organic materials and different styles are available.
We also arrange a cultural and musical tour of Cairo which follows straight after the Sinai. Accommodation is in a very affordable Art Deco style Hotel in Downtown Cairo. There are many, many trips and events which can be arranged in Cairo and the itinerary is flexible depending on participants wishes. These can include visiting music shows on a nightly basis e.g. The Makan Centre - see or Cairo Opera House or shows in Islamic Cairo - the list is endless for live music events. Visiting shows with dancers e.g. a floating boat cruise on the Nile with live band and dancer e.g. to see Lorna Gow - The UK's only resident dancer in Cairo - see Guided tours through the hustle and bustle of the extraordinary markets and nightlife of Downtown and Islamic Cairo where you will experience a true authentic experience of Cairo. Day trips to see the Pyramids, Egyptian Museum, Coptic Cairo etc. etc. We will show you the music shops and help you buy top quality instruments or guide you safely through the bustle of Khan el Khalini the Tourist shopping market. This is just a sample of what we can offer on our holiday and tours.

Humping around Cairo, Pyramids with Camels,
i-Go-2 Egypt 4 Camels, Cairo & Pyramids
On a 2 day visit to Egypt I took tons of phots & vids. Here they are. Cairo, Tahrir Square, the Egyptian Museum and of course the Pyramids are fabulous places to visit. My ride on the camel was interesting and rocky. Hence the vid of that is speeded up since the camera was all over the place. It was difficult enough trying to be stable on the beast let alone take a steady film. Still with a great taxi driver I had a marvellous time. But before you go to Egypt watch my videos at least ten times each. Music by Funzo. This video shows the squares where some of the riots and gatherings are taking place. in Cairo on 30th May.

Khan Khalili in Cairo; The Egyptian Khan Khalili Bazaar
Khan El Khalili, Cairo, Egypt - There are different walking tours in Cairo, Egypt, which one will be involved with, such as Khan El Khalili, Cairo, Egypt, which is an old bazaar that tourists love to visit and see what it carries for them.
Khan El Khalili (خان الخليلي in Arabic) is one of the old souks in old Cairo which is not only an attraction for tourists, but even Egyptians consider it a treasure which they enjoy going to once in a while. Khan El Khalili is found in the Islamic district of old Cairo where there are different other places one could enjoy as well, such as El Moez street (
There is a long history behind Khan El Khalili which started with being the site of the mausoleum which was the burial site for the Fatimid caliphs. The Fatimid cemetery was then destroyed by the Amir Jaharkas Al-Khalili, the master of the stables during the Barqudi's first reign, to erect a large caravanserai at the heart of the city (which in Arabic is known as خان, which is a building that could house merchants and their goods) disposing the bones of the Fatimid family along the way and throwing them in the rubbish hills east of the city.
From that time, El Khan, which was located in the middle of Cairo's most important zone of economy, different buildings and mosques started to be built, and it also became a major souk of foreign trade where slaves and precious stones were sold.
Today, some of these old historical Islamic gates and buildings are still found, but in Cairo there is no more slaves being sold. Khan El Khalili bazaar or souk is now the place where different goods are being sold but which is now occupied by local merchants and not foreign ones; these souks mainly sell jewelry, souvenirs, and antiques.
For those visiting Khan El Khalili souks, we want to tell you that it is not just about the goods that you will buy, but there are different coffee shops and restaurants which you could sit at. The oldest coffee shop there, established in 1773, is called El -Fishawy, and which could serve Arabian coffee and tea and also serves shisha.
Before heading to this area, you should keep in mind that bargaining is highly needed there, so try to use your skills at this thing. It is also important to take the needed precautions in this area due to beggars and thieves; just make sure you are keeping your things safe and you are holding your bag correctly. This is considered a good place to bring Egyptian souvenirs back home with you.
Khan El Khalili is like a maze where you could keep walking without even managing to come across all the streets found there in the end, and that is pretty much the most interesting thing about this area. It is an interesting place to go there and enjoy the old Islamic buildings and get the chance to see how the old Egyptians used to live.
Being in this area, there are still other things which you could visit, such as heading to Al-Azhar area and university, which is the first university to be built in the Islamic world, head to El Moez street ( which is also in the same area and is a place that hosts several mosques ( Islamic buildings, and museums ( and which has been turned into an open air museum where tourists could walk without fearing the vehicles that are not allowed to enter the place.
Khan El Khalili generally is very close to different attractions in Cairo, Egypt, which are all considered part of old Cairo. We recommend that you visit the religious community (Mogamaa El Adyan) where the three different religions are found in the same place ( visit Cairo citadel ( where Muhammad Ali mosque is found and which gives people the chance to have a good view of Cairo ( and go for a walk or a good breeze in Al Azhar park where you could also get a chance to have a good view of old Cairo (
Being an old bazaar since the old days, and now attracting people to its cafes and restaurants, Khan El Khalili is also the place where the old Islamic historical places are found, so one will always enjoy a walk, Arabian coffee, and will manage to bring the right souvenirs for friends and family members back home.
Generally speaking, Cairo is filled with different tourist attractions that one could visit, such as going to the downtown area ( where the Egyptian Museum is found as well as the Islamic Art Museum. You could also head to Cairo Tower, go to the great pyramids of Giza, and visit some of the palaces that Pashas used to live in with their wives back in the old days, such as Mohamed Ali Palace, which is also known as Manial Palace (

SUMMARY
=======
The Egyptian coup d'état of 1952 (Arabic: ثورة 23 يوليو 1952), also known as the 1952 Coup d'état (Arabic: إنقلاب 23 يوليو 1952) or July 23 revolution, began on July 23, 1952, by the Free Officers Movement, a group of army officers led by Mohammed Naguib and Gamal Abdel Nasser. The coup was initially aimed at overthrowing King Farouk.
However, the movement had more political ambitions, and soon moved to abolish the constitutional monarchy and aristocracy of Egypt and Sudan, establish a republic, end the British occupation of the country, and secure the independence of Sudan (previously governed as an Anglo-Egyptian condominium). The revolutionary government adopted a staunchly nationalist, anti-imperialist agenda, which came to be expressed chiefly through Arab nationalism, and international non-alignment.
The coup d'état was faced with immediate threats from Western imperial powers, particularly the United Kingdom, which had occupied Egypt since 1882, and France, both of whom were wary of rising nationalist sentiment in territories under their control throughout the Arab world, and Africa. The ongoing state of war with Israel also posed a serious challenge, as the Free Officers increased Egypt's already strong support of the Palestinians. These two issues conflated four years after the coup when Egypt was invaded by Britain, France, and Israel in the Suez Crisis of 1956. Despite enormous military losses, the war was seen as a political victory for Egypt, especially as it left the Suez Canal in uncontested Egyptian control for the first time since 1875, erasing what was seen as a mark of national humiliation. This strengthened the appeal of the revolution in other Arab and African countries.
Wholesale agrarian reform, and huge industrialisation programmes were initiated in the first decade and half of the coup, leading to an unprecedented period of infrastructure building, and urbanisation. By the 1960s, Arab socialism had become a dominant theme, transforming Egypt into a centrally planned economy. Official fear of a Western-sponsored counter-revolution, domestic religious extremism, potential communist infiltration, and the conflict with Israel were all cited as reasons compelling severe and longstanding restrictions on political opposition, and the prohibition of a multi-party system. These restrictions on political activity would remain in place until the presidency of Anwar Sadat from 1970 onwards, during which many of the policies of the revolution were scaled back or reversed.
The early successes of the coup encouraged numerous other nationalist movements in other Arab, and African countries, such as Algeria, and Kenya, where there were anti-colonial rebellions against European empires. It also inspired the toppling of existing pro-Western monarchies and governments in the region and the continent.
The revolution is commemorated each year on July 23.

SUMMARY
=======
Egyptians (Arabic: مِصريّون; Coptic: ⲛⲓⲣⲉⲙⲛ̀ⲭⲏⲙⲓ Ni/rem/en/kīmi) are an ethno-national group native to Egypt and the citizens of that country sharing a common culture and a common dialect known as Egyptian Arabic.
Egyptian identity is closely tied to geography. The population of Egypt is concentrated in the lower Nile Valley, the small strip of cultivable land stretching from the First Cataract to the Mediterranean and enclosed by desert both to the east and to the west. This unique geography has been the basis of the development of Egyptian society since antiquity.
The daily language of the Egyptians is the local varieties of Arabic, known as Egyptian Arabic or Masri. Additionally, a sizable minority of Egyptians living in Upper Egypt speak Sa'idi Arabic. Egyptians are predominantly adherents of Sunni Islam with a Shia minority and a significant proportion who follow native Sufi orders. A considerable percentage of Egyptians are Coptic Christians who belong to the Coptic Orthodox Church, whose liturgical language, Coptic, is the most recent stage of the ancient Egyptian language and is still used in prayers along with Egyptian Arabic.
