The most prominent religious festivals which tourists experience in Egypt are the ‘mouleds’, which are incredibly lively processions that take to the streets of Cairo on various saints’ birthdays. The mouleds generally take place in summer, and blend religion with folklore, usually taking the form of wild dancing accompanied by music, chanting and fireworks.
