Traditions of celebrating Eid in Irbid

Eid celebration traditions differ in different regions. In Irbid in the north of Jordan, especially in the Al-Sareeh area, the elderly Saleh Ajlouni who lived over different generations witnessed the differences between each one in the celebration of Eid.

In his town, he said, they start with the Eid prayer and then visit relatives and friends to wish them a happy day.

The kids during the day are excited to get some money and candy from the old people. For generations, Al-Ajlouni said that sweets are an important Eid tradition that has been in place for decades.
