Those who are travelling to Egypt in March must not miss the Easter celebrations. This event is important for the Coptic Christian population in Egypt. It is celebrated with formal and long services in the church. The next day after Easter represents the beginning of Sharm El Nesseem or the harvest season. On this day, the locals offer salted fish, lettuce and onion to the most important Egyptian deities.
