- It is wonderful that the whole family is here and celebrates Eid together with many other families in the park.

The children have also taken time off from school today to be able to join and celebrate the Eidfest, says Saly Al-Matari.

How do you solve it with school?

- It's just one day I'm away, it does not do much, says Mohammed Alghanim.

After prayer and food inside Moriskan, there were outdoor activities including football and face painting for the children.

What's the funniest thing about Eid?

- You get gifts, money and spend extra time with the family and have fun, says Ilham Alghanim.

- You put on nice clothes when you celebrate Eid, say Mashal Serdar and Mohammad Saboon Omar and explain that Muslims fast to think of those who can not afford food.
