During the long days of Ramadan, as people fast, they make preparations for iftar, the meal with which Muslims around the world break their fasts. Ingredients and desserts are bought from shops and street vendors alike and shortly before the sun goes down people gather in groups of all sizes to share breakfast.
Here are some of the ways this practice is celebrated around the world.
