During the Holy month of Ramadan in Qatar, the Qatari Armed Forces fire the Iftar cannon to signify the start of Iftar at five places across the country.
TRADITIONAL cannon fire across Bahrain will herald the beginning of Ramadan tomorrow.
Cannons will be fired daily all month to signal the beginning and the end of the fasting period.
Some historians believe the custom of firing the Ramadan cannon dates back as far as 10th century Egypt, when one of the Fatimid caliphs ordered a cannon be placed on Cairo’s Muqatam Hill so all Muslims would hear the signal to break their fasts.
