Photos: Prominent Figures, Stars and Intellectuals do Iftar in Tahrir

Anti-Morsi and pro-Morsi protesters aren't the only Egyptians gathering in Cairo's emblematic Tahrir Square these days. Yesterday a number of prominent actors and intellectuals gathered there for iftar, the breaking of the fast during Ramadan. The event was organized by the Tamarod campaign, whose grassroots petition to unseat Morsi eventually led to his ouster.

There to break bread from the entertainment world were actress Jehan Fadel, actress Manal Salama, actor Mohamed Eladl, and TV presenter and singer Salma Sabahy. Among the intellectuals who attended were Gamal Bakheet, activist and media figure Gamila Ismail, as well as engineer Mamdouh Hamza, president of the tour guides' union Mohamed Gharib, Ahmed Abdel Aziz, and Suhair Abdel Qader, vice chairman of the Cairo film festival.
