International Tours

One of El-Funoun’s aims is to spread an important aspect of Palestinian cultural identity through its performances worldwide. El-Funoun receives annually invitations through cultural organizations, or by Palestinian delegations in Diaspora for participating in festivals, artistic events and marking important ceremonies.  Since its establishment, El-Funoun rejects any involvement to any type of event or activity that advocates or engages in “normalization” with Israel.
