The fasting people in the Jordanian capital of Amman could hear the launch of the Ramadan cannon as a declaration of the breakfast solution, after they relied mainly on the voice of Morocco's ears frequented by minarets of mosques.

A government initiative has revived the Ramadan bomb, a tradition dating back decades. A representative of the Ministry of Tourism said that the initiative came in cooperation between the Greater Amman Municipality, the Jordanian Armed Forces and the Antiquities Department.

"The tradition of launching the Ramadan cannon in Jordan dates back to the 1950s," he said. "This is an old tradition and tradition. It was always during the holy month of Ramadan that fasting began for the fasting people after the sound of the cannon," said Issa Gammoh, secretary general of the Ministry of Tourism. Once again, they are now standing in the area of ​​Mount Castle as they were. "

The Ministry of Tourism invited some 1,000 orphans from various shelters to eat their breakfast near the cannon last week in an effort to familiarize them with an ancient Jordanian heritage. The crowd gathered around the cannon about half an hour before sunset to take photographs and follow up the moment when the breakfast cannon was launched.

The tradition of launching the breakfast cannon in Egypt arose in the fifteenth century before it spread throughout the Arab region. To know the time of breakfast, most fasting people rely on loudspeakers from mosques via loudspeakers, radio, television or the Internet.
