First time I ever saw them I was a kid and believe the dancers were on Ed Sullivan. Years later I saw them in Turkey.
Interesting.

If you can schedule when in Cairo, sure.

In winter and spring, they give frequent evening performances in the courtyard of one of the old buildings nr. the Khan el Khalil - am sure a Cairo concierge would have all the info.

They often have them on the dinner cruise boats on the Nile in Cairo.
