Things to See and Do When Visiting Saudi Arabia
RAMADAN MONTH:
This month is one of the most important times for families to gather around one table in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It is a month that falls in the third quarter of the Hijri calendar. During the day, Muslims abstain from eating and drinking during the day only. In the evening, they gather at sunset to eat breakfast at home or in mosques. After Iftar (breakfast) they enjoy going out to the markets and cafes to spend time with family or friends. Saudis prefer to take their vacations at the end of this month and return to their large family homes to enjoy the rest of it and the Eid holidays after. Most of the social activities stop during the morning period and gradually return to activity at the afternoon. The Saudis hang lanterns and colored papers with drawing of the crescent, which is the emblem of the month of Ramadan, as well as small lamps on the streets and in / outside the houses to announce and celebrate the beginning of the month. These manifestations continue until the end of the days of Eid holidays. After this month, the Eid al-Fitr directly comes after Ramadan Month for almost three days duration where the Saudis celebrate it by wearing new clothes, eating sweets, making all sheep dishes and visiting parents or relatives. It is an official holiday for all official business. Food and aviation are mostly the only active sectors. The first day of the Eid holiday, there are hardly any activities outside the limits of family activities. If you have the opportunity to visit the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia during this month, it will be a wonderful opportunity for you to experience these traditions closely and enjoy this spiritual and very special atmosphere that is repeated only once a year.Recent Posts
