Egyption Culture and Traditions

Egypt is a country with an immense cultural mix , you will find that the customs and mentality tends to be full of warmth towards visitors and foreigners.Egyptians are moderately religious and religious principles are quite noticeable in their daily lives
Although most of the Muslims in Egypt do not drink alcohol they don't object to others drinking, but doing it in reasonable amounts. In Egypt, people don't eat pork, and rarely, when you find a place that offers pork, is there much choice on the menu.
People here fast at the time of Ramadan, it is the time when they all come close to each other and respect each other, it is the time when they go out till late at night and fast by day. During this month, donations, almsgiving and charity would be at its highest rates, it is the time for forgiveness and love. It is a wonderful month.
