In this Friday, July 10, 2015 photo, a girl hold a traditional lantern as Essam Sayed, the 45-year-old "mesaharati," or dawn caller, bangs his drum and chants to wake people up for a meal before sunrise, during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, in the Arab Ghoneim district of Helwan on the southern outskirts of Cairo, Egypt. Each night, Sayed, sets out after midnight on his donkey "Aziza" banging his small drum, chanting traditional religious phrases and calling out on residents by name to wake them in time for the vital pre-dawn meal known as �suhour.� (AP Photo/Amr Nabil)
