In Palestine, Eid al-Fitr is a much anticipated holiday that is prepared for many days in advance by many. Wearing new clothes is a big part of Eid celebrations, so clothes hunting goes on throughout Ramadan. Houses will be decorated with lights and lanterns and more, and homes will be thoroughly cleaned out before Eid arrives.

On Eid itself, people attend prayer sessions in the early hours of the morning, but the rest of the day is spent celebrating and feasting. Many eat Mamoul or Kaik cookies, which are stuffed with things like dates, walnuts, or pistachios. The smell of these pastries can sometimes waft down the streets as people pass by local bakeries on Eid Al Fitr. Fisikh, a fried fish dish originating from Egypt, is also popular in Palestine for Eid these days.
