Ramadan Around the World; A Photo Diary (Vol. 2)
We’re back again with more beautiful pictures of people celebrating Ramadan all over the world, from the Middle East to the Far East and beyond. For so many people this is their favorite time of year; a time of prayer, family, friends, food and festivity.

As we make our way through the month together, let’s take another look at how the world celebrates Ramadan.
