Ramadan (the ninth month of the Islamic calendar) is an important annual festival for Muslims. Ramadan 2021 is from 4/12 to 5/12, and all Muslims are not allowed to eat, drink, or engage in all entertainment activities during this month. Muslims must finish their meals before sunrise and start fasting, and the fasting is from sunrise to sunset. After sunset, people can “breaking the fasting”and start to eat delicious foods.
By fasting during Ramadan, people can truly experience the hunger and thirst, and they can also be more considerate of the poor and give generously. Muslims also need to self-reflect, pray regularly and do good things during the day when fasting, therefore, Ramadan can be considered as a period of rejuvenation/integration of body , mind, and spirit.

What to Eat During Ramadan in the Middle East?
During Ramadan, when people finish the fasting after sunset, many Middle Muslims drink water first, and then eat a few dates to relieve their hunger. On the Eid al-Fitr, many families will make Maamoul and share with relatives and friends when the fasting is over. Maamoul is stuffed with dates filling, nut and cinnamon, and the wrapper is usually mixed with rose water. Therefore, Maamoul is sweet and has a charming aroma, and becomes the popular dessert in the Middle East.
