Luminous green and pink floated through the hot night air as the whirling dervish’s voluminous skirt swirled and twirled in the darkness, writes Sarah Lee.
Removing he revealed another skirt, equally as vibrant, that hovered high above his knees. As the dancer stopped, pausing to revel in applause I caught a darting mischief in his deep brown eyes, searching the crowd for visitors to enter his vibrant arena.
Not only did he wear the skirt well, but we couldn’t take our eyes off the muscular form of this whirling dervish as he spun like a top with such velocity his feet barely seemed to touch the ground. Then, as we were plunged into darkness, the giant skirt lit up like a fun fair ride cutting illuminated shapes through the air.
The dance was the final act in our Dubai desert safari that had seen us bashing across dunes that afternoon.
