Welcome to our mail-order Shop and our selection of books, CDs and videos about authentic Egyptian music, dance and culture. All have been chosen for their quality and potential to add to your enjoyment and knowledge.

To help you choose there is a brief description next to each item. We have also grouped the CDs according to whether they are Sha’abi (‘folk’), Baladi (urbanised ‘folk’), Sharqi (Arab-Egyptian classical) or Combination/Fusion.

The video (DVD and VHS) compiles archive film footage of music and dance in rural and urban Egypt of the 1970s and 1980s - an important record and a chance to see some of the traditions that underly the dance today.

In our books you can read about the lives and occupations of female public performers in Egypt and about visual and performing arts – and artists - throughout the Middle East.
