Where to go this Eid in Qatar?
How do people celebrate Eid in Qatar?
In general, it is a time for community – to meet family and friends, share food and give little children Eid money. The meeting and greeting begins with Eid prayers, usually held very early in the morning. These are traditionally held in mosques, where the men gather without the usual call to prayer.This is followed by a brief sermon by an Imam. Mosques tend to be male-only spaces, or segregated, with women usually offering their prayers from home. Everyone wears their best attire, with men often tailoring new thobes, and women, beautiful dresses and kaftans. After a small breakfast at home, families venture out, greeting everyone with "Eid Mubarak" meaning "Blessed Eid", or "Kul 'am wa enta bi-khair." meaning "May every year find you in good health."
