Manal:
In Egypt, it is almost the same, all the family go to the mosque to do the Eid prayers, ususally we all walk cause the streets are so crowded, you can not use a car. Then we do the sacrifice and to surprise you, Ahmad loves this part soooooo much he does not even get afraid at all and just yesterday he told me that he decided to be a butcher :rotfl :rotfl :rotfl Oh my God can't imagine after all the education he has been receiving . On the contrary my daughter does not like to be involved ( I have the two extremes in my children) . Then we distribute the meat, gather with our family and have lunch togather.

ususaly in Eid children receive Eidya ( which is a sum of money given by adults for them to buy whatever they like. I like this part becausei still get the Eidya from my parents as well as my husband :rotfl :rotfl

On all the four days of the Eid, television broadcasts a lot of new shows and films, many parties in clubs and hotels ,all the time you can see fire works

The traditional Egyptian dish in Eid is the Fata which is  fryed bread in butter dipped in tomato/garlic sauce with white rice and meat. But actually i am not a fan of sheep meat . There is also the rwkak which is a kind of a pie with minced meat. You can also find soup and salad on the table

nice friend:
hummm ... good question ...
its same on my side As Zaini and others mentioned ..
but i want to add a few details :
we wake up with dawn , offer's Fajr Salat ( prayer ) , then prepare our sleves for Eid Salat ..
me My Father, my Bros, My cousins and my uncle goes to offer Eid Salat togather .. ( a good thing what is neccessory after eid salat is to hug each other wat we do ) .. then we go to visit Grave yard to remember our relatives who r not with us, to Requeim for them and to remember them on this happy ocassion to remember that one day we all have to die , so determine to keep our selves away from sins . after that we comes back to home and then our primary mission start's , that is to hide out the VIP  of those 3 days and catch him ASAP , guess who he could be..... yeah you r absolutely right "THE BUTCHER" ... After Catching the Butcher its time to sacrifice Animal As Zaini mentioned ,

--- Quote ---what we celebrate is a great sacrifice one of Allah's Messengers Hazrat Ibrahim was going to make,we call it Sunnat-e-Ibrahimi here ,(Sunnat being an act done by a Messenger( or Prophet) and followed by the believers ).
--- End quote ---
:exactly ... after that its time to distributing or gifting Meat to the People who deserve that meat , to the people wo can't afford to sacrifice Animal, so they can eat meat ( Poor people, its the best thing to give the meat of Sacrificed animal in them , ) so we distrbute large amount of meat in those people ...

me, my family, my uncles and theirs families spend all three Eid days Togather , and we co-operate to each other to do this all .... its fun its joy and its happiness , thats wat Eid is in Pakistan , in my country ..........

Special Dishes :  Koorma, Biryaani and Bar B.Q ....
