Eid - How do you celebrate it?
I understand that iftar is effectively a feast every night for a month so how do you then celebrate Eid? With more food :oo or is it just the new clothes etc?
New Clothes, Toys for kids and tons of the pastry called Kahk. (You've probably seen Kahk in the shops it looks a bit like a pastry biscuit kind of thing drenced in icing sugar)
The first day is normally quite quiet - it's a day for families to be together, watch tv and maybe go out for a stroll in the evening to show off their new clothes.
The second day - families normally go and invade each other taking gifts of Kahk. Or go out and amuse themselves in gardens and green areas in the evening - up here they have rented horses that race up and down the street making it really annoying.
The third day is more of the same - going out and sometimes doing touristy things.
If families are wealthy enough - they sometimes go and spend the three days in a swanky hotel - and a number of hotels make a minimum charge for Egyptians at this time to try to keep the numbers down of day visitors.
Iftar is more properly "breaking of the fast"
Eid is the "Feast"
