Muslims in Middle East countries started observing the holy fasting month of Ramadan on April 13.

During Ramadan, Muslims usually abstain from eating, drinking and smoking from sunrise to sunset. But they will hold the nightly feast breaking the fast, called Iftar, which is the happy time for family gatherings and enjoying the nuts, fruits, sweets, and delicious foods.
