10 Things to See: A week of top AP photos
Manushka Doneis, 18, left, and Fritzna Oralist, 12, drink water they collected from a pool of water created by a broken, buried water pipe filtering up into the yard, as they sit inside an abandoned shipping company depot where their families live in Port-au-Prince, Haiti on Friday, June 26, 2015.

AP PHOTOS: Cairo's dervishes spin for their supper
Many visitors to Cairo are familiar with the whirling dervishes — the
stylized spinning dancers who perform across the city at cultural
centers, cruise ships, hotels and weddings.
The art form draws its roots from the ecstatic movements of Sufi Muslim mystics seeking a state of delirious oneness with God.
But Amr el-Toney, founder of the Mawlawiyah dervish dance troupe, says there are also parallels to the pharaohs of ancient Egypt.
