The story

Souq al-Jumaa Ramadan Days and Nights Festival in Souq al-Jumaa, Tripoli

Souq al-Jumaa is a historic Tripoli district known for lively Ramadan evenings, though a distinctly branded Days and Nights festival specific to this neighborhood is not clearly documented. The best-attested Ramadan nightlife event in Tripoli centers on the Old City's Marcus Aurelius Arch Square rather than Souq al-Jumaa itself.
