i would love if you'd shared everything that might be in aelin's list in a world away, all the dream places she wants to go or already went 🤧🥺

First of all - I am so sorry it’s taken me so long to answer this ask 😭

Second - this list is in no way complete. I could probably double it if I gave it some more time (and maybe I’ll edit this post and add some later) but I wanted to answer this ask.

Third - some things listed are cities, some are attractions, some are landmarks or monuments…it’s really a mix of everything. And some major landmarks that cover more than one country are only listed once.

The Celebration of Eid across cultures and countries

Eid ul-Fitr, one of the most significant festivals in Islam, marks the end of Ramzan, the holy month of fasting. In 2024, Eid 2024 date is expected to be celebrated on Wednesday, April 10th, though the exact date may vary depending on the sighting of the moon, which marks the beginning of the Islamic month of Shawwal. This date is subject to change based on the lunar calendar and regional sighting traditions.

Eid ul-Fitr is a joyous occasion marked by various traditions and customs observed by Muslims worldwide. The day typically begins with special prayers known as Salat al-Eid, performed in congregation at mosques or open prayer grounds. These prayers are offered in thanksgiving to Allah for the strength and guidance during the month of Ramadan. After the prayers, Muslims greet each other with embraces and well wishes, saying "Eid Mubarak," meaning "Blessed Eid." Eid ul-Fitr in 2024 is anticipated to be celebrated with great fervor and enthusiasm by Muslims around the world. Some renowned countries are Pakistan, Egypt, Indonesia, Turkey, India, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Iran, UAE, New Zealand, USA and so on

Anarkali Kurtas, lehengas, Shararas, Suits and Sarees Eid happens to fall in hot Summers and always look for the outfits that looks elegant yet airy and light weight

Eid is the time of the year that brings in new collection launches by several designers across India ,Pakistan and bangladesh. A time for celebration, sweets and yummy offers.

Eid Festivities in New Zealand :

New Zealand Eid Day embodies a spirit of unity and joy, drawing together the Muslim community across the country. In 2023, vibrant Eid celebrations took place in Auckland, Christchurch, Hamilton, and Aotearoa, Wellington.

Eid, meaning "feast," holds profound significance for nearly 2 billion Muslims worldwide, observed biannually. Eid Al-Adha, also known as the Feast of the Sacrifice, marks the conclusion of the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, a sacred journey for Muslims worldwide.

The day commences with morning prayers, followed by an array of festivities at the Eid carnival. Children revel in activities like bouncy castles, cotton candy stands, Quran quizzes, and face painting. Meanwhile, adults can indulge in food stalls, henna art, and ethnic clothing counters.

The largest gathering occurred in Auckland, with over 5000 attendees joining the festivities organized by the New Zealand Eid Day Trust. It's heartening to witness such strong community spirit.

The Muslim community extends a warm invitation to engage with people of all backgrounds, fostering understanding of Islamic customs, traditions, and culture. Together, let's celebrate diversity and stand against hate.

Eid serves as a poignant reminder to spread messages of love and humanity, emphasizing unity in the face of adversity. Let's ensure that compassion prevails over bigotry and division.

It's noteworthy that the United Nations recognizes 15 March as the International Day to Combat Islamophobia, underscoring the global commitment to promoting tolerance and respect for all.

Eid Celebrations in USA :

Islam is booming in the United States, experiencing rapid growth as the number of mosques across the country approaches 3,000, according to the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding. Leading the pack are states like New York with 343 mosques, followed by California with 304, and Texas with 224.

Muslim Americans eagerly anticipate Eid not only for cherished family recipes but also for the chance to flaunt new attire. Designers such as Melanie Elturk, Lena Aljahim, and Ainara Medina unveil exclusive Eid collections, featuring eco-friendly hijabs crafted from recycled plastic bottles and sustainable bamboo.

Bridging the gap created by painful memories of 9/11, American schools are now increasingly recognizing and embracing cultural diversity. Growing numbers of school districts nationwide are accommodating Muslim students by observing Eid, marking a positive shift towards acceptance and inclusivity.

In 2023, the White House made history by hosting its inaugural Eid al-Adha celebration, highlighting the significant contributions of millions of Muslims to American society. Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff led the event, emphasizing the invaluable role of American Muslims in fostering diversity, inclusion, and religious freedom.

Chand Raat, a vibrant South Asian Muslim tradition known as the "night of the moon," epitomizes the fusion of religion and culture. This lively celebration occurs on the final night of Ramadan, marked by the sighting of the new moon. Each year, Jackson Heights becomes a hub of festivity as South Asians gather to celebrate Eid, adorned in colorful salwar kameez and intricate gold jewelry while fireworks illuminate the night sky.

Eid Celebrations in India:

Delhi

Delhi, the proud capital city of India, draws a multitude of visitors during its festivals. Each festivity in Delhi is marked by a vibrant display of fervor and enthusiasm. During eid in india, people gather at the illustrious Jama Masjid, one of India's renowned mosques, to offer prayers. The streets of Old Delhi are adorned throughout the month of Ramadan, and the popular Gali Kebabiyan near Jama Masjid serves its famous Ramzan special, Haleem. Old Delhi transforms into a mesmerizing spectacle during Eid-ul-Fitr celebration, offering an abundance of delectable food stalls and dazzling decorations, inviting visitors to indulge in mouth-watering delicacies and witness the vibrant celebrations of the Islamic faith. Ramzan special Haleem is also served at the popular Gali Kebabiyan at Jama Masjid.

Srinagar

In Srinagar, the entire city embraces Eid-ul-Fitr with exuberance and grandeur. Prayers are offered at Aasar-E-Shareef Hazratbal, while locals and tourists flock to various markets to purchase new clothes and culinary delights. Busy hubs like Lal Chowk, Regal Chowk, and Goni Market buzz with activity throughout Ramadan and on Eid day, drawing crowds from all walks of life. Additionally, Eidgah becomes a focal point as thousands gather to offer prayers in this historic location.

Mutton Yakhni is mostly prepared on the occasion of eid festival

A lip-smacking and aromatic dish from Kashmir goes by the name Tabak Maaz; composed of ribs of lamb/mutton.

Rista. Its soup is gravy and red in color, just like Rogan Josh. Rista is spongy in nature. If you like non-vegetarian, give it a try and add to your appetite!
