Ramadan Word #1 Suhur

When the sun rises at 5:30 and the call for prayer is heard, this is the point you begin your fast until the sun sets 12 hours later. Suhur is the last meal before the fast starts.

People set their alarm at around 4 in the morning (or they stay up that long) get up and have Suhur, which is typically bread, beans (cooked and crushed), eggs, tamayya (falafel), local salads, yogurt and dried fruit.

Suhur can be made at home, or you can eat out. After the evening meal, you can stay up, hang around in the city, smoke sheeshas and enjoy the special atmosphere. In the morning hours there are places out on the street that serve Suhur.
After Suhur, people go (back) to sleep.

EH YA LAURAAAAAAA, I am afraid you wake up at 4 and eat, cause the call of prayer is at 4 20, so you should stop eatin or drinkin at this time, not wait till the sun rise, and that's why we fast more than 12 hours...;) see u r doin a big job here....:)
