Officially, the working hours are diminished to allow more time for prayers. People usually sleep very late and spend considerable time in the mosques.

Once, beginning in the 16th Century, it was the habit of the Egyptian government to fire a canon which could be heard throughout Cairo to announce end of the daily fast. This loud shot was fired from the Citadel over the "el-Moqattam" mountains. Modern technology has replaced this habit so that now announcements are made on radio and TV.

"Iftar" is considered the main meal of the day during Ramadan and is often very rich. Any type of food might be served, but traditionally the desert almost always includes "konafa" or "qatayef".

While there are many restaurants, many may not serve Alcoholic Beverages during Ramadan. The holy month of Ramdan in Egypt is different than elsewhere.
