A picture taken on May 8, 2018 show Egyptians buy traditional lanterns known in Arabic as "Fanous", at a market ahead of the holy Muslim month of Ramadan in Cairo, Egypt. Ramadan is sacred to Muslims because it is during that month that tradition says the Koran was revealed to the Prophet Mohammed. The fast is one of the five main religious obligations under Islam. Muslims around the world will mark the month, during which believers abstain from eating, drinking, smoking and having sex from dawn until sunset. Photo by Amr Sayed
