Ramadhan

Ramadhan is the time when Moslem Peoples get fasting for a month. It's a period when Moslems restrain their appetency. They don't eat and drink from dawn to sunset or Maghrib time. They recommended enhancing their act of worship. But before they start fasting, Moslems suggest to Sahur (eating before cockcrowing). 

And the unique things are many people sales foods for breaking the fast (Takjil). Suddenly, peoples become seasonal entrepreneurs and crowded the streets. This phenomenon begins about 4 pm before the iftar.
