Public holidays and moulids

Egypt abounds in holidays and festivals of all kinds, both Muslim and Christian, national and local. Coming across a local moulid can be one of the most enjoyable experiences Egypt has to offer, with the chance to witness music, dancing and other entertainments.
Even if you're not interested in such festivals, it's important to be aware of
Ramadan
, when all Muslims (which means 90 percent of Egyptians) observe a total fast from sunrise to sunset for a month. This can pose big problems for travellers but the celebratory evenings are again good times to hear music and to share in hospitality. Other useful information
