The Call to Prayer or Adhan, is a series of the five daily prayers, (known as the salah). The prayer is heard at dawn, midday, middle of the afternoon, just after sunset, and at night a few hours after sunset. The Adhan is recited by the muezzin. The muezzin is a chosen person appointed to call to prayer. The melodious call is heard from the top of a minaret. The minaret is the tall tower standing next to the mosque. In most modern mosques, the call is now given from a loudspeaker inside the musallah, or prayer hall from a microphone.
Responding to the call to prayer the worshipper rolls out his or her prayer carpet determines the direction of Mecca, and quietly recites the verses recited in the call to prayer. After the series of chants, the Adhan is complete and the faithful will continue on with their day.

The Egyptian society is kind of a conserved one. This means that many things that are acceptable in the west, are not here.
If you are in a group with Egyptian people then try to avoid crossing your legs with your foot facing them. It is an insult. They might not tell you straight forward but rather their treatment to you will lack respect. Leave a Comment
