Nidhamu is one of a number of albums that cosmic jazz wanderer Sun Ra recorded during an Egyptian tour in 1971. Side one features songs from a concert in Cairo with his Astro-Intergalactic-Infinity Arkestra whilst side two fronts a solo keyboard performance which was recorded a week earlier.

The impact and significance of these few weeks upon Sun Ra can be measured by the growth and development of his output over the next few years; the immediate post-Egypt period included new studio and live recordings on the Saturn, Blue Thumb, Atlantic and Impulse labels and the Space Is The Place movie. Ra also edited the three LPs of the Live In Egypt series which were subsequently released on his Saturn record label and its affiliated twin, Thoth Intergalactic: Dark Myth Equation Visitation, Nidhamu and Horizon.
