Ramadan Songs Are a Must in Saudi Arabia

As Saudi Arabia is home to Mecca, the holiest city in all of Islam, you probably don't need us to tell you that Ramadan celebrations in Saudi Arabia are pretty special. Muslims make fasting and praying their priority, and they make sure that their Iftar takes place at a different family member's house every single day. During each Iftar, they eat traditional Ramadan dishes like beans, dates, pastries, and more.

But that's not all. Muslims in Saudi Arabia also love to celebrate Gergean. On the 15th day of the month, children walk around the neighborhood in traditional clothes, singing traditional clothes, and receive sweets from their neighbors.
