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 in the neighbourhood of Sayeda Aisha between two of the biggest and most famous mosques in Cairo. The recording captures the voices of the muezzins of the neighbourhood and beyond, all of whose calls begin a few seconds apart. The muezzins calling from far away mosques and mosques closest to location can be heard: please control the volume accordingly.
