The month of Ramadan is the holiest month, and is rooted in culture, faith and history. It is the time when Muslims fast from dawn to dusk across the globe, and is marked with vibrant celebrations that are unique to their region and passed on through generations.

Fasting is also seen as a way to learn patience and break bad habits. Ramadan ends with three days of festivities otherwise known as Eid al-Fitr where Muslims gather to pray, eat, exchange gifts, and pay their respects to deceased relatives.
Eid-ul-Adha comes at the end of the time linked to the annual pilgrimage of the Hajj.
