The Misaharaty (Musaharati) is one of the oldest, most deep-rooted traditions found during Ramadan. El Misaharaty is the name given to the person who walks and beats a drum in residential areas to wake people up to eat their sohor (a meal eaten before the beginning of the fast) before morning prayers. Yet, today, this ancient practice seems to be in decline.

I was wondering how big an area he was supposed to cover each time. At the pace he's going I fear the first people to hear him are going to be early to prayer, and the last ones somewhat late! ;)
