Ramadan Is a Colorful Affair in Egypt

Although a large percentage of the Egyptian population is Christian, there's still a sizable Muslim population in Egypt. Because of this, the country comes alive during this time. Stores and homes are decorated in bright colors and huge, colorful lanterns, and you'll see everyone traveling from house to house, celebrating with their friends and family during this holy month. Of course, food is also a huge part of this holy month.
