Today marks the middle of Ramadan as well as a very interesting Gulf Tradition, called "Garangao".
It is a children's festival that is celebrated on the evening of the 14th of Ramadan. In its similarity to Halloween, kids dress up in Arabic cultural dress and go around door to door, singing the Garangao song while receiving sweets and nuts. There is a lot of thought that goes into these treats with many different packagings on offer.

This YouTube video from Qtel really sums up the tradition well. Take a look:)
Have a beautiful evening.
