"I have been collaborating with Keti on various events in Egypt since the first Sphinx Festival around twenty years ago. It was truly a pleasure. She is cheerful, easy going, optimistic and has positive energy in abundance. She designs her events with the utmost care and always tries to get the very best venues as well as personnel such as musicians, singers, dance trainers, lecturers, guides, and so on.

The years she spent living in Egypt have given her so much knowledge and experience that she designs the most perfect excursions with the best possible accommodation, as well as people performing various tasks to make the trips a great success. She is also extremely generous and fair in her treatment to everyone and has such a surplus of integrity and honesty that she makes one feel comfortable and safe and well taken care of. She is a great dancer and an amazing person and I am very happy I met her all these years ago and hope to continue collaborating with her for years to come. I can surely recommend her programs as she arranges them with great care and by the end of them you feel you have made a friend for life and learned so much."

"What a great experience and beautiful desert trip organised by Keti Sharif in April. The Live music and musicians were with us all the time, and I had lots of fun of dancing in workshops and in the desert. Great food, great drivers, wonderful musicians and lovely dance friends made this a unforgettable trip in my lifetime. I enjoyed this trip so much!"

"I had the pleasure of touring Cairo and the Western Desert with Keti in April 2026. Keti’s profound knowledge of Egyptian culture acquired from many years of living as a local resident created an unforgettable experience for me. I reaped the benefits of her passionate investment in Egyptian music and dance by participating in workshops and viewing performances and location highlights that may not be accessible to the average tourist. Often, we were accompanied by friendly local academics who were eager to share their knowledge of this fascinating country from ancient times to modern day."

"I attended Keti’s Music and Culture tour of Cairo and subsequent 5 night desert safari in April 2026, it was one of the best trips I’ve been on. It was well organised and my fellow travellers were among the nicest people I’ve met. I was lucky enough to see some wonderful dance and the Desert Safari was beyond belief, great guides, fantastic scenery, food, and more music and dance. Would highly recommend Keti’s tours through Egypt, it was life changing, amazing."

"I am an accordion player and composer, and have played Baladi at Keti's festivals in Cairo for many years. We bring our best music to the participants, and enjoy seeing the dancers performing to live music and having so much fun. Keti explains music and rhythms very well, and this supports the dancers who wish to learn more about live music."

"I had the pleasure of working with Keti in Cairo as her violinist for group classes and video tutorials for her students. She has such a unique way of teaching — creative, musical, and so thoughtful in how she breaks things down. Keti brings out the best in dancers because she connects movement to music in a way I’ve rarely seen. She’s professional, inspiring, and makes learning feel joyful. I’d love to collaborate with her again."

"Over the years I have been a guest Teacher at many of Keti's Festivals and events in Egypt, and in Australia. Her attention to detail and her love of the Egyptian culture and its artists, always makes me proud. She takes time to research, select the best artists, and deliver the events with a sense of ease and friendliness. I affectionately call her "the firecracker" as she is able to do so many things, including the lovely production of my book Farida: a memoir!"

"Keti's well organized tours have introduced flavours of an amazing Egyptian culture. Many diverse aspects such as authentic Egyptian music, dancing, markets, memorable relaxing sail on a Dahabiya, culinary experiences, magical Desert nights within a peaceful surrounding. Different areas of Egypt that have been a great experience in life for me."

"For many years I have been teaching workshops at Keti's festivals in Cairo and the Red Sea. I see how much care she puts into these programs to show the Egyptian arts at their best, from the music to the dance training. I love being a part of these events and hope to meet more of the guests who travel to Egypt to learn about our culture."

"What struck me about Keti Sharif from the very beginning is that she has never been merely a professional artist; she seamlessly combines refined performance with a profound, authentic passion for the very roots of the art she presents. She has navigated beautifully between the world of Egyptian folk arts and the legacy of the Reda Troupe and Farida Fahmy, between traditional costumes and the designs of Shahira Mehrez, and across the rich musical landscapes of Upper Egypt, Delta, the Deserts, and Zar, ultimately crafting her own unique world and vision."

"I am Am Abou Zeid, a Sufi musician and performer in the National Heritage troupe. Working with Keti is always a pleasure, as she is dedicated to the arts of Egypt - music, dance, traditions, and is always kind and respectful to the artists."

"Keti is an extraordinary beacon of dedication and passion in the world of bellydance. Her tireless commitment to excellence and her ability to juggle countless significant events with such grace and fervour leave me in awe."
