CAIRO, July 1 (Xinhua) -- Egyptian families in Cairo seized cooler weather at nightfall during the Eid al-Adha holiday on Sunday to have a great time outing at public and recreational places.
Meaning the "feast of the sacrifice," Eid al-Adha is marked as Islam's major religious festival and a public holiday in Egypt, which started June 29 this year, providing at least a day off for the general public.
During Eid, worshippers began their celebrations with prayers and other activities like seeing families and friends, and sharing sacrificial animals with the poor.
