Call to Prayer in Sharm el Sheikh

Call to Prayer - Muslims pray 5 times a day. To gather everyone at the same time there is a "call to prayer" announcement (song) that goes out over the airwaves and loud speakers, radios, etc. Even our boat in the Red Sea played the song as it came over the maritime radio. When this happens, men come running. I don't know what the woman do though....
