Oki doki, so Ramadan is done for another year. Whew… life is really a lot easier now that we are able to eat and drink during daylight hours again. The whole Middle East seems to be in a good mood now that it’s time for Eid. Last night we heard some fireworks in the distance to mark the end of the fasting.
In Riyadh, streets are deserted during daytime because businesses are closed, many people have traveled abroad and those who are here are either sleeping or eating at home. Shops open in the evenings and we are told it’s one of the busiest times of the year for them because everyone is giving gifts to relatives and children. Here’s a picture from one of the busiest streets in Riyadh from yesterday. Hubster and I have never seen it this empty before.
