HOT DATES

: Throughout Ramadan, the date market at the entrance to Rod Al- Farag will be the site of frenzied buying and selling, with customers from Cairo and Upper Egypt making up the bulk of the clientele until mid-month, and Delta inhabitants taking over thereafter, in preparation for the feasts. Dates are bought in bulk or retail quantities, and redistributed among family members, friends and to the poor
