Title
Dancers at the Pasha's palace (original source)
Short description
Giovanni Battista Belzoni was invited to the pasha's garden to attend a performance, as Belzoni's house in Soubrah bordered the palace of Governor Zulfur Carcaja.
Text on source
From the number of lights I frequently saw through the windows of the seraglio, I supposed the ladies were at such times amusing themselves in some way or other. Dancing women are often brought to divert them, and sometimes the famous Catalani of Egypt was introduced.
