The Sugar Feast is the three day festival which follows Ramadan
This holiday refers to the restoration of one’s best human composition and the celebration of the end of the thirty days of fasting during Ramadan!
It’s time to visit family and friends, eat nice food and give to the poor...
During this 3-day celebration, the flow of life changes drastically. For locals it means holidays since schools, government offices, banks and even the private establishments are closed for three and a half days |
Public transport may run less frequently, and fares are usually lower compared to regular days. Highways will probably be overcrowded, especially in the morning of the first day and in the afternoon of the last day of the Ramadan Feast, as many people travel on these days.
The Ramadan Feast is the first day of Shawwal, which is the 10th month of the Islamic calendar. Each month, the Islamic calendar begins with the first sighting of the new moon. As a result, the exact dates of the Ramadan Feast change every year, according to the Gregorian calendar. Celebrating the Ramadan Feast after a month of fasting, is one of the earliest and most important traditions of Islam!
