Qarqe'an

Qarqe'an is an annual tradition practiced in the Eastern region in Saudi Arabia during the holy month of Ramadan (13-15 Ramadan). All families celebrate this day with their children because it is one of the most popular customs of Ramadan.


Although the celebration of Qarqe'an shares superficial similarities with the Halloween custom ,Qarqe'an has no connection with horror and no associated origin with Halloween
So, every child likes Qarqe'an because they go as a group with their friends, then go everywhere in their neighborhood.

  1. I've never heard of this holiday. I think it's a little bit similar to Hallowe'en though.
