Coming to this project it focuses on the important time of the year where the individual grows spiritual peace with doing the best deeds. This brings the aspect of how people tend to celebrate the most special month in Egypt differently compared to any other culture. Ramadan nights in Egypt is considered as loud and spiritual that has an identity for many generations back over the past year. The ramadan celebration represents a unique concept to the world that make the foreigners visit, somehow for some foreigners it will be restricted and limited to do the usual daily routine of theirs as they experience the Ramadan celebration during their visit. To understand the concept of Ramadan night celebration in Egypt comparing to abroad is to collect visuals throughout the month of Ramadan and create the reality of the spirit, not just through visuals, but sounds and smell of the Ramadan nights.
To conclude all the research been made including the interviews that has been done. Ramadan is a holy-month like no other where it can be observed by people around the world coming into one peace. Ramadan has showed in Egypt that it has different flavour to it bringing the wonderful sense of humor and spirit to the streets of Cairo and around Egypt compared to any other place, where the cities comes to life.
