Was in September 2008 during Ramadan.
Nothing special.
They don’t eat until sunset, don’t smoke, etc.. then you can, Allah sleeps and doesn’t see :) ... then in the evening I saw a bunch of Arabs sitting smoking a hookah, etc ...
Exactly at 6 they eat. They didn’t even let us in Duty Free on the return line, they just sat on the floor to eat
The Egyptians honor their traditions, but you are a tourist and you don’t have to wrap yourself up from head to toe, don’t eat, etc ... You just have to follow their rules - don’t go around ahead of the worshipers (they can do it right in the middle of the street), don’t look intently at their women, etc...
Generally, nothing special.

Excuse me, I didn’t really understand what it means “do not go ahead of the worshipers”? But how to get around? I really don’t want to get into an unpleasant situation.

This means that if you see a praying Muslim, it is better to bypass him on the tenth road! And yet, if you go out into the city, it is better to wear light trousers so that your legs are closed and, if possible, a T-shirt without a deep neckline. Have a nice rest!

there will be no special features on the territory of the hotel - but outside the hotel you should also not eat, smoke, etc. (difficulties may arise even with representatives of law enforcement - like you do not respect the laws of the country, etc.).

In Ramadan itself, there are just no problems, but after it ends .. I myself think, go-not-go? It turns out that just out of 2 weeks I get one in Ramadan, and the other in Little Bairam. The festivities are continuous, crowds of people will come to the hotels .. and if you go after Ramadan, then you have to wait two weeks, this is already the beginning of October, it turns out again from October 12 to October 26, the prices will be sky-high. I will think..

In tourist cities such as Hurghada, Sharm, etc., there will be no barriers at all during Ramadan. The population of these cities practically does not pay attention to traditions while making money from tourists.
But if you get to continental cities, then it is better not to cause discontent of the local population there. Last September in Cairo, from about 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm, we couldn't even buy water anywhere. And all the sidewalks were filled with tables with Egyptians eating.

If a mosque is located near your hotel, then throughout your vacation, in Ramadan, you will listen to singing, prayers or something like that, I don’t know how it’s called correctly, and despite the fact that it is sung into a mouthpiece i.e. loud enough. We were in Ramadan in 2006 at the Club Golden Five 4 * hotel, there is a mosque very close ..... at first it was a little annoying, but then we got used to it and didn’t even notice it :))) ..... have a good rest

To trespass: and don't think! Eat when you can, don't delay. There are no problems in hotels - no one will cling. Just don't go outside if you're scared. And if the locals come in large numbers, it's okay ... ours behave worse. In my opinion, everything is quite democratic in hotels and there is no risk!
