Eid al-Fitr is first of all a religious celebration in Morocco. Most people will attend early morning Eid prayers at a local mosque and hear a sermon there as well. Then, they will return home to celebrate and feast with family and friends.

Various cookies and pastries are traditionally eaten for Eid al-Fitr, along with such fare as lamb and prunes, chicken and lemons and olives, and various beef dishes.

A big part of the holiday is also giving the “Zakat al Fitr”, a religiously obligatory gift of food or equivalent money given to the poor so that they too can celebrate Eid.
