There's also a shift in how one should fast... Instead of simply abstaining from food and drink, and committing yourself to prayers and so on, things have become progressively stricter, with the occasional comment about how you dress, or whether you should be listening to music, creeping into conversation, and making you cringe. However, Ramadan is still alive in some areas - visiting older more traditional areas such as Sayeda Zeinab, or Bab El-Sharia during Ramadan brings one as close as possible to how Ramadan was celebrated a long time ago.The Cairene Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17840248483201789484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5354347237484780774.post-86159799699157636082010-08-11T15:48:55.604+02:002010-08-11T15:48:55.604+02:00:) Thanks!!
