My Favourite Day - Eid al Fitr

 

Eid al-fitr is an Islamic festival. It takes place at the end of Ramadan, a month of fasting when people don't eat and drink during the day.

Listen to a girl from Egypt tell us about Eid al-fitr in her country, and why it's her favourite festival. You can also light some firecrackers!

Hi! I am a muslim. I like the festival of Eid-ul- Fitr because I get to eat delicious food on that day and of course Eidi(money given by elders)which we spend on ice creams etc.
