Continuously, without interruption, throughout day and night.
문화적 배경
Cairo is often called 'The City that Never Sleeps' (المدينة التي لا تنام). You will find kiosks and small cafes open 'على مدار الساعة' even in residential areas. Due to the extreme heat during the day, many people prefer to shop and socialize at night. This has led to a massive increase in services available 'على مدار الساعة'. In professional settings, this phrase is used to show high-quality service, especially in the tourism and banking sectors. Channels like Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya use this phrase constantly to emphasize their global reach and non-stop reporting.
