Egyptians enojy Ramadan nights in Fatimid Cairo, i.e. El-Mu’izz Street, Hussein area, and Al-Azhar. For locals and tourists, these places are peerless. Thanks to recent developments in downtown Cairo over the past two years, Egyptians with a passion to have iftar and sohour outdoors can now also enjoy an artistic and cultural glamour at night during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
In the heart of the country, Egyptians and tourists from all walks of life can find various types of restaurants, where food is served outdoors.
Iftar is a special time for Muslims, as it marks the end of a day of fasting by having food and water. Sohour is the pre-dawn meal that Muslims have before beginning their fast for the day. It is important to eat sohour before the first light of dawn appears in order to sustain oneself throughout the day of fasting. Sohour meals are typically light but filling, consisting of foods that provide sustained energy throughout the day.
