Moulid_0013

A group of people sit in front of Al-Hussain Mosque on the eve of his moulid, in Cairo, waiting for the famous religious chanter Yasiin al-Tuhamy to arrive. People travel from the Delta and Upper Egypt to receive food from those who are wealthier than them, to listen to the chants, sing and dance. Most believe that visiting Hussain on the eve of his birth will bring them prosperity and blessings throughout the year.
