Yesterday was Friday, holy day here in Egypt, and there was no mistaking it! All day the town reverberated with the sound of the mullah calling the men to prayer, a sound that is amplified through the many speakers adorning the minarets. Jamie jumped on his bike and recorded a little tour of these sounds, which are quite extraordinary to the western ear.
This is quite a raw recording and you’ll note in the twelve minutes of footage not once do you not hear the mullah.

Your decriptions bring back vivid memories of the Hurgharda street scenes and we particularly remember the goats and Nomads. You are right in saying a “herd” of goats, but they can also be a “tribe”. Pleased we were at sea on the Friday – we would have had even less sleep. The Muezzin seems to have outdone the taxi drivers in this case.
Love Mum and Dad 😛
Without wishing any disrespect, they do sound a lot like sprukers we get at shows and fairs in Australia!
Pete.
