Okaz Street in Taif, one of the Ramadan streets throughout history, which is still a destination for those fasting on a daily basis before breaking the fast, and the street is full of all the simple details of life and coexistence, along its extension from Khaled Bin Al-Walid Street until its intersection with Al-Jaish Street, in a breathtaking view from afternoon until The Maghrib call to prayer, you see Saudis and foreigners, old and young, standing in extended lines, to buy various meals, because the street is famous for it in Ramadan in terms of the spread of groceries and shops right and left, which offer samosas, luqaimat, pancakes, mutabbaq, masoub, mantu, fermoza, beans, lentils, falafel, burmah, Yemeni fahsa, and Indian, Pakistani and Egyptian foods such as Al-Kushari and others, while many of the old buildings are still witness to the history of the beginnings of development and construction in Taif, to explain the size of the interdependence and cohesion between families and neighbors from the good generation until these generations, and they are full of memories, stories and nostalgia that wafts from their walls and windows, with only streets separating the opposite ones. Some of them accommodate only the passage of a small vehicle only, and the residents whose homes look towards it flock to it from all directions, while you see the old sitting benches still holding on to the banter and the exchange of conversations, and the children are playing innocently and you hear the crackling, the clicking and the gurgling here and there.
The street witnesses a heavy turnout from all neighborhoods of Taif to enjoy watching the rituals of fasting and shopping, which makes the street under continuous traffic throughout Ramadan.
