In Qatar this is what happens, people fast thruout the whole month and then they eat the lunch they missed out lol j/k. During eid the whole corniche will be decorated, there will be carnivals, people visit each other or gather up for lunch or dinner, its holiday time, alot of people take time out from their busy lives and go on 4 or 5 days holidays, alot of people go by car around the middle east. Eid is actually the time of the year when families meet up. It's similar to chirstmas except for the booze and it lasts 3 days :D. t_coffee, eid is not a big party and Ironman nothing happens at the beach, its all the same the usual weekends, people, land cruisers, beachs and drinks, thats all.
It's always the small things that make big differences.
