Cairo – Ramadan is a special time for everyone in Egypt. [During iftar] the streets are empty, and everybody spends time enjoying meals with their family and friends. In Egypt, the month of Ramadan goes beyond what any other Muslim country can offer. In its own way, it resembles Christmas festivities in the West, where parties take place in the middle of the week, baking and cooking is part and parcel of the festivities, chocolate goodies, gift wrapping and gift giving dominate the month of December. And more than anything, it is a time to remember those in need.
