Holy Islamic Ramadan

Let us show you the wonders of Egypt

Holy Islamic Ramadan

Please fill out the form

Ramadan is a highly sacred month for Muslims; it is the holy month during which Mohammed received the message from the sky, delivered by the archangel Gabriel. Because Muslims use the lunar calendar, which means that the long months are 30 days, the difference in days between the Sun Calendar and the Lunar Calendar is almost 11 days, according to certain calculations. So Ramadan does not occur in the summer or the winter; it occurs all year.

While Ramadan approaches the heart of Summer, which, as you may know, is extremely hot in Egypt, During Ramadan, Muslims refrain from drinking, eating, or having sexual relations from dawn to sunset every day for at least 29 days, if not 30 days. I’m assuming you’re aware of what I said about Ramadan earlier.

The best part is that Egyptians use this particular occasion to assemble wherever and at any time, therefore there are tents specifically designed for Ramadan (large tents with singers and traditional shows) and Breakfast at Sunsets… People could go to the tent twice a day for a meal, once at dusk for breakfast and once before dawn for Souhour, which is the sole meal served with breakfast during Ramadan days, so we had two meals a day in Ramadan.

Also, during Ramadan, if you are stuck in traffic and the sunset prayer call begins, you should eat something or at the very least drink dates drink, tamarind drink, or any kind of juice. In that case, you do not have to worry because the streets will be flooded with people offering you free drinks, many of them until you tell them to stop because you have had enough.

And the very special thing is that if you are poor and have no money to buy food, you can eat for free for the entire month of Ramadan. It happens all over Egypt, in the big cities, the countrysides, villages, small cities, big streets, small streets, just about everywhere, rich people hire cocks, chiefs, and people to serve the poor, and they erect large tents with tables and seats before the sunsets. EVERYONE is free to stop eating their breakfast, rich or poor; the goal is to ensure that everyone is able to break their fast every day at sundown. The same is true in mosques; anyone can go to any mosque and eat the sunset or at the very least receive a date drink.

Fasting during Ramadan, including breakfast at sundown and another supper at Souhour before dawn. Brown dry delicious dates, dry apricot, dry figs, raisins, and coconuts are blended together to provide the percentage of sugar your body requires after fasting for the day.

So, as the sun goes down, Muslims drink this first, then pray for the sunset prayer, which takes approximately 10 minutes, and then eat soup first, then FOOD. Ramadan is the month for everyone to start improving their manners and behavior, to start becoming a truly nice person. During Ramadan, Muslims believe that God banishes all evil spirits. During Ramadan, Muslims build large lanterns and hang them in the streets to illuminate the entire country, and this is originally due to the morning prayer, which is performed in the mosque by the majority of Muslims. But I can tell you that the majority of these events take place in Egypt, particularly the tent parties, lanterns to light the streets, and children purchasing Ramadan-themed lanterns.

What People Say About Us
5/5

Thank you Egypt Fun Tours for a most memorable trip. I admit I didn’t do any of the planning (it was all done by my boyfriend) but as you can read in the reviews below Hani (the owner of Egypt Fun Tours) is superbly organized and accommodating with scheduling.

My boyfriend and I, and our dearest mutual friend, booked the 7Days-6Nights tour. In short time, we visited Cairo, Aswan, and Luxor sailing down the down the Nile, pit stopping to see key sites at these location – and so much more!!! We got to know the ancient and modern egypt in depth thanks to Hani’s impressive knowledge. He also enlightened us on the people and their beliefs and went as far as showing us what a typical life looks like. I cannot express the level of personalized service Hani offered us. He was flexible to adapt to our requirements and added sites to our schedule that was not part of the tour simply to ensure we were 100% satisfied with our experience in Egypt.

I went to Egypt practically blind-folded, not knowing what to expect, especially considering the time we had decided to go (December 2020 – we were the first group that Hani met with after months of having to put his tour agency on hold considering the pandemic) yet he managed to surpass all of our expectations. I felt so incredibly lucky for us to have stumbled on Hani. I would recommend Egypt Fun Tours to anyone and everyone. It was truly, HANDS DOWN, the best cultural experience I’ve ever had. You’ll be in the best of hands.

Nille cruise,Luxor and Aswan where amazing sites to see, specially when you have with you the best tour guide in Egypt .Hamada was absolutely fantastic, lots of information and some of them not spoken by others. This guy was not only a simple tour guide for us, he became a good friend also. Was a one in lifetime experience. Highly recommend Fun Tours. Really a great experience.

Hamada was incredible! So knowledgeable and kind. He had information about every item, street corner, and relic we looked at. Any questions we had, he had answers! He even made sure to give us tips while walking through the crowds so that’s we would feel more comfortable when being approached by vendors. Oh and the food?! He took us to the best places! Delicious food!! We tried Egyptian fried chicken, falafel for the first time, the best shawarma in the city (we love food). We even got to meet his beautiful wife and children and try some “French” Egyptian coffee in their home! Truly made friends for life!! We’ve promised to host him and the family when they travel to America for the first time! Such an incredible experience, and Hamada (and family) made it that much more memorable and amazing!

Excellent trip to historic sites with no one else around. We came to see Egypt while most places still had COVID19 fears. The staff at Egypt Fun Tours were professional, safe, and great to deal with. Very helpful, knowledgeable, and entertaining. I feel like I just got a a year of Egyptology in the last week and we had all the sites to ourselves due to COVID19. While people are shutting down and staying home you should feel safe to come explore with Egypt Fun Tours and have the place to yourself.
