UPCOMING EVENTS

Eid Al-Fitr

Type: Festivals
Location: Cairo
Date: 2010-09-10

After fasting and abstaining from pretty much everything over the course of the Ramadan month, it's no surprise that the Egyptians are ready to party when the Eid Al-Fitr (Festival of Fast-Breaking) comes around.
Ramadan ends as a cannon tolls the arrival of dusk, and the streets suddenly fill with an explosion of revellers. New clothes are chosen and masses of food is purchased and turned into feasts for friends and family.
Even if you haven't endured a month of privations, you can be sure to enjoy the sudden release in tension as the country is finally able to let go and fill its belly again.
Please note that this date is an estimate based on the visibility of the lunar crescent, so Eid may actually start 1-2 days earlier or later than predicted.
