Egyptian Festivals

Dear all,

    Today, I will present new kind of SoundSlides audio... Hope you enjoy it...
It is about the Egyptian Festivals and how they are similar in rituals in stead of their variety in aims and types...

Waiting to hear from you :)

Egypt is a wondrous country. It has many festivals. Some of them are historic and traditional, some are secular from the ancient Egyptian carnivals, and others are religious.

In spite of the variety of Egyptian celebrations, most of them have similar appearance.

Friends go out having fun together. People go to restaurants and cafes having great times. Others are having a Nile cruise.

Sara Balbaa from El Behera, Egypt will tell us about her Eid days:

There will be also many places for children to go. They take the open-arranged cars which called “Taf-taft” that takes them all around the places to celebrate the feasts.

And finally, “Mallahy” time comes. Yaaaay, it’s the Attraction Parks for all children. They like to go out play with their friends; having their Eid toys. And for sure, parents shouldn’t forget the weakling “El-Tartour” and the drum.

Along the history, Egypt goes through many civilizations with their differences in habits & cultures. However, it still has its unique presence; it’s my grandfather’s smile…
