The dancing girls of Cairo. They are young dancers who performed without their veils in the streets. Their dancing had little elegance and even less decorum. Their dress is similar to that worn by the middle classes in Egypt. Often they perform their dance in the courtyard of a house, or in the street outside the door, on the occasion of weddings or the Birth of a child. They are often extremely beautiful, and among them is found the most beautiful women in Egypt. Their origin is uncertain and in many ways resembles that of another mysterious people, the gypsies
