Nagwa Fouad: nightclub show (red bedlah)
A nightclub performance by Nagwa Fouad. I'm not sure about the back up dancers' wedding veils and beach shorts at the start of the routine, but once Nagwa arrives its a great show.

The second part of a nightclub show, drum solo and finale. A performance with Nagwa's usual passion.

Dina: Cairo hotel performance
A round of applause for Dina, the woman who has singlehandedly saved the Egyptian lycra industry. The clip was filmed, I think, at the Cairo Sheraton. The first section shows Dina in one of her skin tight lycra dresses. In the second part of the clip which is filmed in the same location, she's wearing a regular bedlah in apricot.
Dina: a compilation mix
I found this compilation of snippets of Dina on the end of a video tape of Egyptian dancers from the 80s. Along the way someone's removed the live music and dubbed in 'Moghram Ya Leil' as the soundtrack.
