Saudi families celebrate Eid al-Fitr with prayers, traditions, and family gatherings.

JEDDAH, March 31, 2025 — The arrival of Eid Al-Fitr in Saudi Arabia marks a joyful and deeply spiritual celebration, blending age-old traditions with lively family gatherings.

As families wake up between Fajr and Eid prayers, the air is filled with gratitude and festivity.

Warm greetings are exchanged, homes are adorned with festive lights and decorations, and children eagerly await their new clothes, gifts, and sweets.

The scents of incense—oud and bukhoor—blend with the aromas of traditional Saudi dishes like maamoul, kabsa, and samboosa.

Decorative lanterns and vibrant table settings create a welcoming atmosphere for guests and relatives, reflecting the spirit of hospitality and togetherness that defines the occasion.

Muslims throughout the Kingdom performed the Eid Al-Fitr prayer this morning, marking the end of Ramadan.

From early hours, worshippers gathered in large numbers at mosques and open prayer spaces across cities, governorates, and villages, united in their devotion and gratitude.

Eid in Saudi Arabia is not just about rituals; it’s a time for visiting family, neighbors, sharing meals, exchanging blessings, and giving to those in need.

The day underscores the core values of compassion, unity, and generosity, and serves as a time of spiritual renewal and strengthening community bonds.
