After the month of Ramadhan where by all people in the world were fasting, joined together to celebrate the big day of Eid el fitri which is special for people to share with the less fortunate in the society.
In Zanzibar like in the other countries people celebrates together but there is something so special and unique in Zanzibar. It starts with the preparation of Eid from the first day of Ramadhan like buying clothes, new furniture and some of them start to paint their houses. Eid day is like the new day to us, even the children start to save their own money from the small pocket money given by their parents just for that special day.
When the day came there were special dishes served in homes like you couldn’t miss the most favorites in our culture, cakes, and some cookies where in plenty. The main purpose of the day is not to eat but to show unity and equality to all people, and also visit each other to say hello to their relative and friends. In the evening it was a day out for the young and the old, whereby people visited special places like Forodhani and Mnazi mmoja (the big place of Eid day in Zanzibar) where by people went there to celebrate Eid and have fun like dancing ,eating buying some toys to their children etc..
There are four days of Eid in Zanzibar, so you are almost welcome to join Eid in Zanzibar next year don’t miss come see and experience the Zanzibar culture.
