Many cities across Morocco resumed on Monday Eid Al-Fitr prayers, after nearly two years due to COVID-19 restrictions.
This Hijri year’s Eid has shown more tolerance for citizens to pray, gather, and visit family members, and people around them.
This change came after the country recorded a noticeable drop in COVID-19-related cases and deaths, as the virus is at 1% of its peak.
In joint statements to Hespress, many citizens expressed their joy and happiness for the return of collective prayers, after a suspension of prayers in mosques and common outdoor places due to the pandemic.
Citizens also praised in a statement to Hespress the return of usual habits, such as visits and gatherings with their beloved ones.
Eid Al-Fitr marks the end of the holy Ramadan month as well as represents a Muslim holiday.
The holiday is an occasion for families to gather and have the first breakfast in a month.
Ramadan lasted 29 days this year in Morocco, starting April 3.
Most Arab countries are also celebrating Eid Al-Fitr on Monday, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Yemen, Kuwait, the UAE, Egypt, Iraq, Bahrain, Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria.
