Muslims greet each other on the first day of Eid at Al Farooq Omar bin Al Khattab Mosque

Eid Al Fitr marks the end of the month-long Ramadan fast for Muslims, and the beginning of the month of Shawwal

Eid is a celebratory occasion marked by morning prayers, family get-togethers, the giving of gifts as well as charitable donations

A public holiday accompanies Eid Al Fitr, with many people taking time off work to travel abroad or take short trips in the region

Both the public and private sector are enjoying a week-long break to mark the occasion. Work will resume on Monday, April 15
