Egyptians spend and celebrate the holy month of Ramadan in the most unique ways possible. From family gatherings, doing charity work, distributing water and dates during Iftar time, to spending the nights listening to live music in Ramadan tents.
One thing that has been constant in Egyptians’ lives every Ramadan since God knows when is the “Dawra Ramadaneya”.
A “Dawra Ramadaneya” is a football competition that takes place during the holy month for prizes and most of the time, a sum of the money is used for charity or any good cause.
