Hari Raya Aidilfitri in Malaysia – Marking the End of Ramadan
While Hari Raya Aidilfitri is often mistaken as the Muslim new year, in reality, the occasion celebrates the end of the month of Ramadan. This year, ‘Hari Raya’ (the day of celebration) is set to fall on the 3rd of May 2022. This vibrant ceremony can be witnessed as tourists can book out their pick of the best resort in Langkawi to partake in the country’s traditions in celebrating this special day.
Visitors at the Pelangi Beach Resort & Spa can witness families celebrate this national holiday in their traditional clothing like the baju kurung (traditional Malay dress) for women and baju Melayu (traditional Malay wear) for men with a songkok (a traditional hat). This family-friendly celebration includes a wide array of traditional cuisine to which guests are invited to share the glee of Muslim tradition at open houses.
