tomorrow (thursday 13th of september) starts Ramadan , the month of fasting in muslim countries..
starting from tomorrow there is no food no drink and of course no sex from dawn to sun set so I guess it is time to get a diet hehehehe
Ramadan is the month when the Holly Koran descended from heaven to the prophet Muhammad and so we fast this day as a sign of its honour and hollyness
it is also a time of large celebrations in Egypt since the (Fatemy) perioud. lots of food are special for that month like deserts (Konafa and Katayef)
television also makes large productions for the month in the form of dozens of miniseries lasting for 30 episodes to end with the holly month's end and the most popular mini series in Egypt was (one thousand night and a night) at which every year one of the great stories of Scheherazade was featured.
so the month of celebrations and prayers started
I just pray to be able to control my self.... yet fasting help in controling any hardon hahahaha
Familiar picture in every street in old cairo of people buying (Fawanees) : decorated light bulbs made especially for Ramadan people hang them in streets and in houses.
closer look on one of the patterns of Fawanees.
