Testing the patience of the hungry and irritable can lead to road rage: A big concern or issue at Ramadan time in the region becomes traffic jams during the time leading up to breaking fast or 'Iftar'.
In Cairo this pile up phenomenon can be felt around 3 hours before Iftar hour, if not before.
30 Days of Ramadan Challenge {Day 1: Patience}
Patience is one of the most poignant challenges of Ramadan since Ramadan tests your patience and discipline in the fast and going about your daily business. Certainly being stuck in traffic at Iftar time would try any fasting soul's patience! Road rage is a common occurrence at the hungriest hour of the day just prior to Iftar time.
"Also to make things clear, I am a liberal feminist Muslim but we can all agree that Ramadan is a great time for cleansing the self and becoming a better person and a better Muslim. This is my own personal challenge. I like setting goals and I like going after them. This Ramadan, I am going to look for 30 things that I would like to practice every day and I thought of inviting you all to join me. I will be posting my challenge the day before and then I will let you know how it went."

Ramadan (is still) Mubarak
Ramadan is changing:
"Around this time last year, I remember writing a draft about how Ramadan simply did not feel like Ramadan anymore. I couldn’t really put my finger on it, but the Holy month had changed, and even though the change had happened gradually over the last few years, the change was most tangible last year."
