Naima Akef (Arabic: نعيمة عاكف, pronounced[næˈʕiːmæˈʕæːkef]; 7 October 1929 – 23 April 1966) was a famous Egyptian belly dancer during the Egyptian cinema's golden age and starred in many films of the time.[1] Akef was born in Tanta on the Nile Delta.[2] Her parents were acrobats in the Akef Circus (run by her grandfather), which was one of the best known circuses at the time. She started performing in the circus at the age of four, and quickly became one of the most popular acts with her acrobatic skills. Her family was based in the Bab el Khalq district of Cairo, but they traveled far and wide in order to perform.
