So, it’s Ramadan here. 

Have you ever wondered exactly how Muslims break their fast? I have.

It’s awesome.

At almost sunset…..dozens of diners sit in restaurants…staring at their food-covered dinner plates….the seconds tick by…..

A firework goes off, on a loudspeaker something in Arabic is said (I’m guessing something like…it’s sunset now), and theres a flurry of chewing and happy sounds.

Also, I thought it would be a bigger deal with the no eating and drinking in a strongly Muslim community. Not so. Visitors are asked to be more sensitive in visiting the holy places (women be extra modest, for example), and no eating and drinking in the courtyard. That’s all.

In other news, I had a lovely day sightseeing. Restaurant food is reasonably priced and the coffee delicious. With the abundance of water fountains everywhere, I’m well hydrated for once!

Have a good one, everybody!
