The small African nation of Djibouti has been predominantly Muslim for over a thousand years and has a 95 percent Muslim population to this day. The major Islamic feast day of Aid el-Fitre is a national holiday here, and in fact, it is a two-day holiday.

Aid el-Fitre is celebrated on the first and second days of the month of Shawwal in Djibouti. It is a time of joyful celebration that stands in stark contrast to the stringent demands of the month of Ramadan. This is a time to greet everyone you meet and eat your fill of seasonal delicacies!

The devout may spend part of the day reciting Koranic verses, traditional Muslim prayers, or Eid-themed poetry. For others, Eid is a time to gather with family and friends to eat and celebrate after a month of day-time fasting.
