Eid Mubarak is the equivalent of Christians saying 'Merry Christmas' at Christmas time. This is the last of a
short series of posts on Ramadan
Yesterday was the last day of Ramadan, which means the last day of fasting for my Muslim friends. The next three days are a holiday, and everyone will be off work, stores will be closed, etc. Its a little bit like Christmas day, except 3 days long. Many Bahrainis will be visiting family, giving gifts and relaxing after a month of fasting during the day.

For us, it means that we can eat and drink in public during the day, go to the mall at 5:30pm for a coffee, and know that businesses will return to normal working hours (some businesses are open fewer hours during the day, and more hours during the night, sometimes till midnight or later).

I received an email with the caption EID Mubarak. It was from the go-cart place.
