Answer 1

1) yes cafes are open during ramadan but only at night and stay until dawn, and Ramadan is a name of an arabic month, so it is a month in egypt or any where else.

2) yes, business are open but with slight change is working hours to allow everyone to have "iftar" which is the main meal during ramadan with the family

3)yes, they talk on the phone..

4) best time would be 2 O'clock GMT

Answer 2

my cafe opens later than normal.. like 2pm but stays open later also.. till like 4

businesses are open although the hours might be shortened a bit

of course we talk on the phone and the net and sms

we are two hours ahead of greenich... eight hours if you are in central time zone in the states. best time to call would probably be nonish your time... depends of if he goes to do tarawih

hmm, did i miss anything? :D
