Ramadan Lanterns in Egypt

The Fifth Floor

Available for over a year

Ramadan is a period of daytime fasting for Muslims. It's also a time when the night comes alive in many places, with families getting together to do other things too. In Egypt they have a tradition of decorating homes and streets with lanterns - called Fanous. Nada Rashwan of 麻豆社 Monitoring shares the festive celebrations.
