The '''Ghawazi''' (also ''ghawazee'') ({{lang-arz|الغوازي}}) is a local practice describing female dancers who dance in return of money, meanwhile; the men version of the practice is described as "khawal". They first started as few Egyptian [[Dom people|Domari]] who refused to dance for free unlike the common habit among all Egypt, then the idea got extensively practiced and got developed among rural Egyptians or ''[[Fellahin]]'', who also developed a more rural and traditional style accompanied by [[Egyptian music|Rural Egyptian songs]] and colorful dresses of the Fellahin and became a theme of Rural Egypt. Over the years, [[Saidi people|Upper Egyptians (''Sa'idis'')]] mastered and then developed a different style of traditional Saidi dancing that's accompanied by Egyptian ''mizmar'' flute and [[Qena]] and [[Assuit]]'s traditional female clothing of ''Telli ''({{lang-arz|تلي)}})'' '', a super silky type of local fabric. That Upper Egyptian style is the most famous, where the dancer is accompanied by a traditional Upper Egyptian Mizmar and a singer singing and narrating folk-songs in "Saidi Arabic" (Upper Egyptian Arabic language) about local hereos and popular love stories in towns.
