Ramadan Kareem!

It's Ramadan now, which is a special holy month for Muslims.

Every day Muslim people do not eat a thing until the sun goes down and say prayers.  Before they have their Iftar, which is a big party dinner with family and friends, they have three dates to break their fast.

We had an Iftar, it was lovely.  I tried a date and lots of other Arabic foods.  I had two chocolate brownies, a sticky ball and a little almond cake for pudding.

There are very special lights for Ramadan in the city, but during the day I am not allowed to eat or drink outside!

Here is a traditional Ramadan lantern:
