Following a month of fasting, prayer and charity, the end of the holy month of Ramadan is marked by at least a two-day celebration which will kick off on Wednesday this year, the first day of Eid al-Fitr for Muslims.
Though the big day can only be confirmed a night before as it depends on sightings of the moon, people are expecting Eid to fall on July 6 this year.
Considered one of the biggest events in the Islamic calendar, the Muslims world over take part in various festivities.
While celebrations vary from region to region, they all share a single thing in common: it marks a time for families and friends to get together, share a meal or two, exchange gifts, and give thanks.
From the UAE to Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia to Oman and Qatar, residents take part in fun traditions, with plenty of things to do for both kids and adults.
