Festival Location: Baghdad, Iraq

Festival Type: Religious Events

The annual Muslim rite of Ramadan is a time of intense spiritual renewal for those who observe it - a time of pious fasting, of sacrifice, a time of peace.

Eid al-Fitr (literally, The Festival of Fast Breaking) is the joyous, three-day celebration that follows Ramadan. When families and friends pour out onto the streets to eat, shop, share and spend time together - for the first time in a month before sundown.
