On Eid morning, families wake up early and put on their best new clothes - often white, embroidered robes called djellabas. The whole family then goes out to meet neighbours and walk through the streets together. Everyone says 'Eid Mubarak' - which means 'Blessed Eid' - to everyone they meet.
Children are usually given small amounts of money, called 'eidi', from grandparents and older relatives. They spend it on sweets, balloons or little toys. Many children save some of it too. It is a bit like getting birthday money, but on the same day as all your cousins.
Sweet pastries are the heart of Moroccan Eid. Families bake for days beforehand. Kaab el ghazal ('gazelle horns' - little crescent biscuits filled with almond paste), chebakia (sticky honey-and-sesame swirls) and ghoriba (crumbly almond cookies) cover every table.
Houses fill up with visitors all day. People who live far away come back to their families. Mint tea is poured all afternoon. Children play together in the streets while the grown-ups talk and laugh inside. It is mostly about being with family.
