Elaborating on the performance, Mrs. Hourany said that the groups' members conducted thorough research and decided to have El-Funoun newest performance Raqsit Shamis "Dance of the Sun" which is a dance production inspired by timeless Arab-Palestinian Heritage. "The reputation El-Funoun maintained to gain since it was established in 1979 encouraged us to organize a performance for them. We are looking forward to having a great event," she said.
