The Egyptian Castle

Wherever you are in the World, we wish you a very peaceful Ramadan!

Of course the holy month of Ramadan is all about giving and reaching out to the less fortunate. It is a spiritual experience filed with prayers and asking for forgiveness for our sins.

For some of us living abroad and far away from home, this holy month also brings back many memories of the good old days in Egypt! Family and friends gathered around the dining room table, waiting for the “Eftar”, followed by hours of fun watching the “Fawazier” and “El Mosalsal”. Kids with their bright colorful lanterns “Fanous Ramadan” singing with their innocence intact “wahawy ya Wahawy”.

So, if you live abroad, share with us your memories and tell us what is it that you miss the most being away from your homeland during this holy month.

If you live in Egypt, you might want to tell us what is it that you think, we, who live abroad are missing being away from the nowadays Egypt!

These photos are from the Egyptian Election in 2005. The exact same thing we see now happening in Iran, happened in Egypt in 2005 and four years earlier and every election for the past 30 years.

People all over the Middle East, especially in Egypt are suffering beyond imagination and always silenced with an iron fist. Protesters were beaten up, imprisoned and women sexually assaulted in the streets of Cairo by the police and the Riot Police.

Mubarak has been in power for almost 30 years anyone that opposes him is being thrown in prison and now he is grooming his son to take the presidency soon.

To all Iranians we say to you: our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you.

Freedom must prevail and the tyrants gotta Go!
