Hamed el

Every Friday afternoon you can see the Halgt Zikr , where a colourful local troupe of whirling dervishes stirs up the dust in worship of Allah at this mosque. Things start at 4pm (5pm in winter), but don't really get going until about 5.30pm and they don't dance during Ramadan. If you're used to the dour colours of Arabian Islam, you'll find the circus-like atmosphere here refreshingly colourful and laid-back.
