The Young Fakir

In Omdurman, every Friday evening ,one can witness the wonderful

Dhiker ceremony at Hamed al Nil Tomb.

The Tomb lies in middle of a huge cemetery , where Sufis and fakirs ( Dervishe's)

dressed in there colorful outfits dance and performs the ceremony.

I saw this young man actively participating in the ceremony in his magnificent getup.
