RAMADAN

Ramadan, or Ramzam, occurs in the ^9th month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Muslims pray and fast all day for 28 days. Charity is de rigueur towards the needy during this holy month. At nightfall, the mobile kitchens are set in motion, stalls offer special snacks, the streets are scented with a thousand and one perfumes, the fast is over until the early morning. Ramadan is followed by all Muslim communities. It is an opportunity to visit the markets in the Muslim neighborhoods at the end of the day.
