Bosra Festival Syria Orient Culemborg The Netherlands

Our folkdance group from Culemborg The Netherlands was invited by the Syrian Ministry of Culture to participate in the 21th International Festival in Bosra Syria august 2009. We performed in the Bosra Amfitheater for over 15.000 spectators. Later that evening the famous Ali al Deek performed and invited the group to dance with him on stage again. It was an amazing happening. During this week we performed in Suweida, Tartous and the wonderful historic Azem Palace in Damascus. In between the performances the organisation showed us several interesting sites elsewhere in Syria. The video shows part of the performances in Bosra and in Damascus.
