Interior Minister Mahmoud Tawfiq on Friday greeted Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouli and Grand Imam of Al Azhar Ahmed el-Tayyeb on the occasion of Eid al-Adha, which starts on Tuesday.
Eid al-Adha is one of the two religious holidays in Islam, which falls on the tenth day of Dhu Al-Hijjah, the twelfth month of the Islamic calendar.
Eid Al-Adha marks the beginning of the annual hajj to Mecca in Saudi Arabia and commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God.
