[...] A wooden booth with pinnacles at its four corners and covered with the most costly stuffs is used to transport the Kiswa. On Chawal 23 rd., March 26th, there will be a combined Lord Mayor's show and circus procession in Cairo -soldiers of the Khedive as an escort, camels laden with orange branches and fruit, bands playing Arabian music, and pilgrims escorting the booth containing the carpet. Immense throngs line the way and struggle with each other for a chance to touch the sacred conveyance.
