After they promised us good food and great time we decided that cruising the Nile at night would be something for us. We sacrificed 30 euro in order to shake our souls.
The music on the boat was just so great for me are real elixir for ears after all that commercial stuff they try to choke us with at home. I was singing along, clapping my hands and smiling I just had an orgasm; I must have looked pretty dorky.
The music started fading into background and a really short guy in a skirt came in and started whirling. Yes it was a dervish dance. But the soon came a really tall, tall, tall guy, maybe the tallest person I have ever seen, he was so tall he nearly hit against the ceiling with his head. His skinny body was dressed in a skirt too. He bent and looked angrily at the short guy, his look said: “Let the professional do the job.” That expression on his face made him look so great, one could say he was gorgeous, yes, he was one of the five men in Egypt I thought looked attractive. (I had some problems here with finding the right adjectives, because I didn’t want to go too much into superlatives).
Anyway he made the little guy leave and then the real show started. Gorgeous whirled and the bright colors of his skirt created a rainbow that traveled amongst the tourists together with his pleasant appearance. Play of colors touched our hearts and his smile made us feel contempt. He kept spinning and spinning and we all became drunk from the pleasant sight and the whirling we witnessed for 30 minutes.Labels: dance, dervish, egypt, men |
