As the holy month of Ramadan draws to a close, Muslims around the world continue to observe the month-long fast from sunrise to sunset.
One important tradition during Ramadan is iftar, the evening meal that marks the end of the daily fast.
In Tabriz, a city in Iran, iftar is not only a spiritual moment but also a time of community and celebration.
In homes all around Tabriz, families gather around a tablecloth filled with an array of traditional dishes including soups, stews, kebabs, salads, and sweets.
Close family members, relatives, and friends sit down together to break their fast, offer prayers, and socialize.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of preparing the iftar spread, there is a sense of peace and joy that fills the air. The aroma of spices and herbs mingles with the sounds of laughter and conversation, creating an unforgettable experience that brings people together.
As Ramadan comes to a close, the memories of these traditional iftar spreads will linger in the hearts and minds of those who were lucky enough to experience them.
