what does egypt call christmas

Christmas is called "Id al-Adha" in Egypt. This holiday is celebrated by Muslims to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son to Allah. It is celebrated on the tenth day of the twelfth month of the Islamic calendar, which usually falls in December or January. While it is not celebrated with the same intensity as Christians in Egypt, many Egyptians still participate in the festivities and exchange gifts. The holiday is also a time for family reunions and religious observance.
