Yes, there's always bad Western music to get through before you get to the real music and dance. We considered it "hazing."

But... the second time we went to Egypt, we went to a lot of nightclubs, and one segment that kept appearing everywhere was the Chicken Dance (which they called the Duck Dance). OK, I've led a sheltered life... I had never seen this dance before, and thought it was an Egyptian cultural phenomenon!

One other "musical phenomenon" we encountered was the theme from The Godfather constantly playing on the hotel muzak. My husband and I already had a running gag that at any given time of day, somewhere on American TV one of the Godfather movies is playing... to get to Egypt and hear that music!! Oh dear!!
