| Abstract: | Audio recordings from 10 locations in Cairo representing the city-wide call to prayer (over 30,000 muezzins reciting each of the 5 times per day) as heard from each area/neighbourhood, with supporting photographs of the locations and what is seen from said location. |
| Description: | Five times a day in the 83 square mile city of Cairo, over 30,000 muezzins call out the adhan, or call to prayer, calling believers to come and to pray. This Dhurh (mid-day) adhan was recorded at Al-Azhar Park in the neighbourhood of Islamic Cairo. The length of the recording is almost 8 minutes, because the muezzins all begin a few seconds apart. The muezzins calling from far away mosques and mosques closest to the park can be heard: please control the volume accordingly. |
