Directed by Osama Elolemy
In the mesmerizing whirling dance of the Sufi lady, grace and devotion blend seamlessly.

The gentle flow of her white garments symbolizes purity, while her serene expression reflects inner peace and connection to the universe. As she twirls, she becomes a living embodiment of spiritual ecstasy, inviting us to join her in this sacred dance of unity and love
