Ramadan is a blessed month during which different religious rituals and various traditions and cultures are demonstrated; along with other common traditional habits that mark the month of Ramadan specifically in Egypt. These inherited traditions and habits with their specific origins have become common to everyone during this month. As Ramadan gets closer, people get prepared happily to this blessed month. There are many festive traditions that take place in Ramadan including: -    Buying Ramadan supplies like lanterns, Ramadan decorations, Ramadan desserts such as Qatayef, Konafa and other delicious sweets. -    Mesharati (a person who wakes people up by beating a drum and chanting to have their suhur at midnight. -    Other religious customs like reading Qura'an, Taraweeh, Tahajod and Qeyam Alayal  prayers in addition to decorating mosques with festive decorations and lights. -    Banquets and indoor or outdoor family and friends gatherings. -    Garments are of a great importance for the whole family; they highlight the elegancy of everyone. However, garments are of a special importance to women. Most women seek to look different and unique; and look for every new trend in fashion.
