Family Is Everything in Kazakhstan

For Muslims in Kazakhstan, Ramadan is about upholding their Ramadan traditions and spending time with their families. Because of this, expats who have moved away from the country return to their homes for the whole month to be with their loved ones. If they live close by, they'll also head to the Hazrat Sultan Mosque for Iftar parties. Not only are these parties full of Ramadan dishes, but they're also huge events that see 10,000 worshippers every single night.

During these events, they'll typically eat mutton with rice and nuts and wash it down with either horse or camel milk. The head of state in Kazakhstan also makes an appearance during these events.
