A folk dance troupe in colourful costumes on a lit stage.

Cairo · Agouza

The Balloon Theatre

The national folk troupes — tanoura, Upper Egyptian dances, Nubian songs.

€ Budget

A large Agouza auditorium hosting the state folk troupes: tanoura dance, Upper Egyptian music, Nubian repertoire. The audience is almost entirely Egyptian, and the show has not been cut short for visitors.

The extra bit

Tickets are bought at the box office on the night: arrive thirty minutes early, there is no online booking.

Know before you go

Programming is irregular and follows the national troupes' calendar: check before coming.
