Muslims across Egypt on Friday celebrated Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan— a month of strict fasting from dawn to sunset.
The first day of Eid starts with prayers and the morning breakfast is usually the main event, but there is a range of other ways people celebrate too.
Being a happy celebration, Egyptians mark this occasion by heading to entertainment attractions and public gardens for a family picnic.
It involves cooking and eating many traditional Egyptian delicacies and cousins like salted fish (Herring and Meloha), besides green onion, lupin, and nuts.
The food most commonly associated with the celebration is Kahk, which is a small delicious circular biscuit that originated in Egypt for many years and is eaten across the North African state.
The festival is also celebrated with great enthusiasm, with mosques across the country holding special prayers and events.
