Eid al-Fitr- Just like other Muslim nations around the world, one of Saudi Arabia's biggest celebrations takes place at the end of Ramadan. The month of fasting comes to a close with the three-day Eid Al-Fitr festival in Saudi Arabia. The occasion starts with a modest morning meal and prayers at the mosque.
Eid al-Adha- is the latter of the two Islamic holidays celebrated worldwide each year. It honours the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience to God's command. Before Ibrahim could sacrifice his son, however, Allah provided a lamb to sacrifice instead.
