Ramadan Iftar Meal in our Neighborhood

We're in the middle of Ramadan here in the Arabian Gulf. Ramadan is the annual month of fasting for Muslims. Iftar is the meal that breaks the daily fast at sundown each day. One focus of Ramadan is to serve the poor and show generosity to others. In keeping with that spirit many of the mosques offer free meals to low-income workers. This is a popular mosque about two blocks from our villa. The picture was taken 3 years ago but is representative of the scene every evening at this local mosque that I pass by 4-8 times a day on average.
