Indonesian Nuni Nuraini Ahyani is in her fourth year studying religion at Cairo's Al-Azhar University, the 1,000-year-old seat of Sunni Muslim learning.

During the holy month of Ramadan, which runs until later this month, she likes to try out different communal tables where locals and passersby can break their fasts at sunset in a tradition dating back centuries.
