Festivals and customs in Africa

In Cairo, the capital of Egypt, a family went out on a sailboat to participate in the "Smell the Wind Festival". The "Smelling Wind Festival" started around 3000 BC, and it is said that it is the day when the benevolent god defeats the evil god. After about 5,000 years of historical evolution, the "Smelling Wind Festival" is one of the oldest traditional festivals in Egypt.

"Smell the Wind Festival" is a folk festival in Egypt, also known as the Walking Festival, which is held every April. At this time, the weather is getting warmer, and people are going out for an outing, playing, having a picnic and enjoying the breeze. Egypt is located in the desert, and there is not much green land, so where there are green grass and trees in the capital Cairo, there are happy people gathering.
