Iftar is the sunset meal eaten by Muslims when they break their fast. They are typically large meals and a great way to immerse yourself in the local food and culture.

“If you are invited to iftar, definitely attend! It’s a joyous celebration to eat and enjoy with the locals. I also tried fasting while in Qatar, and it was harder than I expected. The self-control and devotion that it takes are something to be praised.”

Anyone remaining until the end of Ramadan is in for a treat as they will have the opportunity to witness the observance of Eid al-Fitr. This holiday marks the end of Ramadan and is celebrated with elaborate feasts sometimes attended by hundreds of people dressed in their finest clothes. Attending an Eid feast will allow you to taste a plethora of flavorful new dishes and sweet desserts.
