Everyone’s busy planning Christmas. We’re already thinking about March.
Ramadan 2027 starts around 8 February, and Eid al-Fitr falls around 9–10 March (the moon gets the final say). Short fasting days, cool weather, and evenings when the whole city comes out after iftar.
Where we’d go:
🇦🇫 Afghanistan: Eid crowds at the Blue Mosque in Mazar, and fairs with creaky homemade Ferris wheels
🇵🇰 Pakistan: street iftar in Lahore’s old city and Chand Raat bazaars open till the small hours
🇳🇪 Niger: Sallah horsemen riding out for the sultan
🇸🇾 Syria: licorice-juice sellers with brass jugs and iftar in old Damascus courtyard houses
🇹🇩 Chad: the “sultan’s day” in Kanem on the second day of Eid
🇧🇫 Burkina Faso: Eid prayer at the mud-built Grand Mosque of Bobo-Dioulasso
🇮🇶 Iraq: mheibes, a ring-hiding game neighbourhoods play against each other after iftar. Yes, it gets competitive.
🇺🇿 Uzbekistan: Eid and Nowruz in one trip
