Ramadani tourism events in historic, non-historic places in Egypt

Numerous events are taking place in Moez Street in Islamic Cairo and many other historical and non-historical areas during Ramadan. The events celebrate the holy month and encourage visitors to spend time in a special way, offering a special kind of tourism for the holy month, often referred to as Ramadani tourism.

This kind of tourism usually consists of showing the people the historic mosques and the Islamic cultural sites. The events’ programmes also include enjoying an “Iftar” meal or breaking fast and watching several tanoura (whirling dervishes) or religious chanting shows.

An event named “Breaking fast in Moez”, organised by the Al-Mahata Initiative, will take place in Moez Street. The event was expected on Wednesday, but due to the assassination of Prosecutor General Hisham Barakat on Monday, and the three days of mourning, the event was postponed to Thursday.

The event costs EGP 55 and starts from 5:00pm until 10:30pm. The event’s programme includes a tour with a trained tour guide showing the people the monuments of the street, an Iftar meal, a photo session with a special photographer, a puppet show and a tanoura show, according to one of the Al-Mahata Initiative’s founders, Ahmed Raafat.
