It's time to Ramadan

In this time of the year following the moon sights and shapes we meet the holly month "Ramadan". This is the month that we fast from the sunrise to sunset. Not only fasting from eating and drinking but also from all other desires as well as from fighting with others, insulting others, making laugh of others and harm others. Instead we help others as hard as we can. It is a holly month because the holly Quran has revealed in this month.

First of all , if you are interested to know more about Ramadan and know the meaning of some expressions I use in this post please visit What makes Ramadan very special part 1 and part 2 .

Few days ago, I went to hyper market to buy "Yahmeesh Ramadan". This is an Arabic expression for special food we eat in Ramadan as Egyptians. Let's have our tour.

First of all you can see the Ramadan lamp or "Fanoos Ramdan" as a decoration. This is special in Ramadan. Have a close look.

Actually I was taking shots with my phone camera. It still works isn't it?

These are dried fruits. Apricot, plum, grape, date and fig. We make a beautiful fruit salad with these tasty fruits and eat it before Iftar. If you like to know what is "Iftar", "Sohoor" and "Fanoos Ramadan" please visit What makes Ramadan very special part 1 and part 2 .

This is dried Apricot. I like to eat it as it is beside eating it with the salad. It is full of sugars and calories and gives power.

This is called "Amar Eddin. It is dried apricot in a sheets shape. You leave it over the night in a water until it melts and drink it. This is special for Ramdan. Love itttt.

This is dried date. Because it is the most famous fruit in Ramdan, it was in the middle of the hyper market. 

Oh, yeah . this was a close shot.

These are the sweets we eat in Ramadan beside Konafa and Atayef. These special for Ramadan and Iftar Eid. These are the most awesome sweets ever. To know what are konafa and atayef please visit What makes Ramadan very special part 1 and part 2 .

This is the date we eat the very first thing in Iftar when we hear the Ramadan cannon. To know what "Iftar" and "Ramdan Cannon" mean please visit What makes Ramadan very special part 1 and part 2 .

Beside it, there's the dried grape as well as the dried fig.

These are the nuts we stuff our sweets with. I like them because they give power and very tasty especially in Ramadan.
