Since 2013, the residents of Ezbet Hamada in the Matareya neighborhood have been organizing the largest iftar table in the middle of Ramadan every year. This event is called “The Great Family Gathering.” Thousands of people attend the event and sit on tables arranged on the narrow streets, creating an atmosphere filled with love, kindness, decorations, and lighting.
