d ul-Fitr
Ei
The main festival in
Muslim culture in Egypt is Eid
ul-Fitr. We celebrate this after
Ramadan which is the 30 days when
we fast from sunrise to sundown and
eat only at night. People help others and
being a good person is the focus of the
holiday. At the festival we watch the moon
to see when we begin. We eat dates first
to end the fast and begin with sweets. To
prepare for the holiday we buy new clothes
and make cookies. We clean and
decorate. We go to the mosque and
then visit family. We celebrate here
one day and in our country it
lasts three days.
