The General Administration of Information and Public Relations at the Cairo Metro company organized a campaign for Ramadan Iftar in the main and interchange metro stations (al-Shuhada – Ataba – Anwar El-Sadat) at the first and second lines.
This comes in coordination with the Egyptian Food Bank throughout the holy month of Ramadan, under the directives of Transport Minister Kamel al-Wazir for the third year in a row.
The Iftar campaign distributes boxes of snacks daily, containing a bottle of water, juice and biscuits.
Cairo Metro spokesperson Ahmed Bakir confirmed that coordination is underway with the Egyptian Food Bank team to distribute a thousand box of snacks for breaking the Ramadan fast daily to all passengers present at the stations and inside the trains at the time of the Maghrib call to prayer.
The campaign aims to distribute 30,000 boxes inside the metro until the end of Ramadan.
