Zaffa
In Egyptian culture, as well as that of Yemeni culture, the zaffa, or wedding march, is a musical procession of bendir drums, bagpipes, horns, belly dancers and men carrying flaming swords. This is an ancient Egyptian tradition that predates Islam. When the procession reaches its destination, usually the house of the bridegroom, there is usually a party, more loud noises, and then dinner.
The Zaffa is well-documented in many Egyptian movies ever since its start, 100+ years ago.
