Tanoura or El-Tanoura is an Egyptian folk dance usually performed in Egyptian Sufi festivals. The word "tannoura" may refer to the dance, the dancer, or the large skirt used in the performance.
The Tanoura dance is performed by Sufi men, Darawish. The dance is similar to the Sufi whirling . You can see man wear long colorful skirts, where each color on the skirt represents one Sufi order.
When the tanoura dancer moves himself, he is like the sun and the dancers around him like the planets. The dancer unties and removes four different skirts during the finale. Their various roundabouts symbolize the succession of the four seasons and their anti-clockwise movement is exactly like the movement around the "Kaaba" (the holy Shrine in Mecca). They also use glowing neon lights to add more drama and spectacle.
When the dancer raises his right arm up and points his left arm down, this represents the joining of earth and heaven together. When he turns himself around, it is said that he enters a trance-like state, trying to become light and go up to heaven. The performance of "El Tanoura" consists of parts: The introduction which is a demonstration of the various musicians and their instruments. The Tanoura presentation dance, which is a warm-up of sorts introducing the dancers, and finally the Sufic Tanoura dance.


Tanoura Dance is one the of main attractions at Desert Safari of Dubai. I found this more skillful and artistic than the famous Belly Dancing.

This dance depends mainly on the dancers showing off his skills in using the many unfolded costumes of the Tanura and his physique while corresponding to the musical sentences and the breath taking variable rhythm.
The philosophical basis for the spinning is from the Mawlawis who say that the movement in the world begins at a certain point and end at the same point, therefore the movement has to be circular.
