The Ramadan 2026 Countdown has officially begun, and nowhere is the excitement more palpable than in the heart of Islamic Cairo. As the city gears up for the holy month, Cairo’s Historic Moez Street is undergoing a stunning transformation. Artisans and city officials are working tirelessly on extensive Ramadan preparations, ensuring that the world’s largest open-air museum of Islamic architecture shines brighter than ever. With the suspension of enormous customary lanterns (Fanous) and the scrupulous tidying of medieval mosques the ambiance is charged with expectation of the nightly celebrations, religious meetings that characterize this religious season.
