Saudi Arabia Announced SOPs for Eid ul Fitr

The holy month of Ramadan is one of the most vital and most sacred month of the Islamic calendar. With the arrival of Ramadan, Ramadan packages have been installed in the markets. We are already into last week of Ramadan so Eid ul Fitr is also on the corner and preparations are underway for this.

Supermarkets offer discounted groceries for convenience. With the advent of Ramadan, unique bazaars are in place in the country (before the Corona epidemic). Outside each market, traditional chicken and liver stalls are in place for Ramadan. 

Last year, KSA was under curfew. Due to this no stalls, etc., were set up and no particular markets were set up. This year too, Ramadan packages are in place in the superstores, but due to Corona, the stalls are not busy.

In Saudi Arabia, People stay awake at night. The markets are open only in the afternoon.
