Children's Fanoos (Lantern)

Each year during Ramadan, kids get given toy lanterns. They have loud music and bright alternating lights. Fabulous fun.

Ramadan Fanoos (Lanterns)

In Egypt, Ramadan is a festival of lights, with lanterns of all sizes and shapes being lit during this holy month. The tradition apparently dates back to 968 when the people would celebrate the arrival of the Caliph. For more on the history of the tradition see this article on The Ramadan Lantern. Today, in Egypt lights are strung from homes and apartment buildings not just in the form of lanterns, but also long strings of LEDS (see my post on Ramadan Lights).
