In the Egyptian capital, Cairo, the Mit Okba district hosted one of the most significant events of the Ramadan month — a collective iftar. This annual tradition, known as the 'longest collective iftar table in Egypt,' has been held for over 10 years. It aims to foster a spirit of solidarity and mutual support among residents. The iftar brings together people of all ages, including children, the elderly, as well as visitors from neighboring districts and foreigners eager to experience the collective breaking of the fast in the heart of Cairo. The event includes distributing free meals to the needy and poor, along with religious and cultural activities such as Quran recitation, religious discussions, and congregational prayers. The main street of the district is transformed into a table stretching for hundreds of meters, featuring a wide array of traditional foods like dates, soup, rice, meat, Ramadan drinks, and local sweets. This event has become the city's main Ramadan celebration, attracting the attention of both local and international media.
