Making up a large part of Egyptian culture, these festivals celebrate the seasons, as well as the religions of the country.
For those that want to get more out of their Luxor holidays, consider going to Moulid an-Nabi, also known as the celebration of the prophet Mohammed's birthday. This celebration has some incredible feasts, with some of the most delicious Egyptian foods being served here, including some rather delectable hummus. Celebrated during the third month of the Islamic calendar, this festival also celebrates the mystic Sufi saints, through parades and dances. You'll certainly find out a lot about Egyptian culture through this festival.
Although it is a religious festival, Ramadan is surrounded by plenty of celebrations. During this time, there are plenty of small celebrations around the country. As 90% of the Egyptian population is Muslim, it is celebrated all around the country. It celebrates the time that the Qu'ran was revealed to the prophet Mohammed and takes place on the ninth month of the Islamic calendar.
It's a fast, which lasts for an entire month, and followers do not eat, drink or smoke from sunrise to sunset. The time after sunset is called Iftar and traditional music and entertainment are enjoyed with family and friends. Ramadan takes place throughout the whole country so no matter where you are you can enjoy the festival, but Dahab holidays are a good starting place.
Meaning 'the smell of spring', the celebrations of Sham al-Naseem mark the first day of spring. Taking place March 21 each year, the festival is shared by Muslims and Christians in Egypt, where they gather outside for a picnic. Translated, the name of the celebration means 'the smell of spring'. During the picnic, the traditional foods eaten include kidney beans and dried fish. Hurghada holidays are fun for everyone, and it's a great place in Egypt to enjoy the festival.
