There have been many over the years, the the grand opening of Buddha Bar Beach at the Abaton Resort in Crete, Greece was one of my favorites.
I love all types of events, but weddings are my absolute favorite.
I started taking belly dance classes when I was 15. By the time I was 17 my instructor and mentor was sending me to private gigs and restaurant shows. I went on the perform at hotels and other upscale venues all over the world.
All the great golden era dancers of Egypt- Samia Gamal, Sohair Zaki, Fifi Abdou, etc.
I typically arrive 15-30 minutes to set up, and perform for 30 minutes. Sometimes I will break the show into 2 sets. A changing area is needed.
Yes, I am happy to perform outside as long as I am alerted in advance.
I take music and costume requests. I choose my own entrance music.

Najla is AMAZING! We hired her for my wedding in March 2025 for both an Egyptian Zaffa and dinner show. She is an amazing belly dancer. She knows Arabic songs very well and she is very accommodating, responsive and professional. She worked with me on choosing two outfits and the songs that she will dance to. She is collaborative and suggestive nice songs as well that I didn’t even know. During the dinner show everyone LOVED her! She brought great energy and really helped with hyping up the crows to dance and get lose! I highly recommend hiring Najla for any of your events she is great !!
Yes! Tipping is accepted and appreciated. Tips can be placed in the side of the dancers belt or armbands if it is done in a respectable manner.
