Eid Al-Adha

Another celebration on the list of the most famous festivals in Saudi Arabia that isn't exclusive to the country but has a significant impact today is Eid Al-Adha, which is observed by Muslims all over the world and lasts four days.

This is a holiday commemorating Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son in the name of Allah. This is the time of year when Muslim families all around the world gather to celebrate with their close relatives. In reality, eating is a big component of Eid Al-Adha in Saudi Arabia, and it's one of the main attractions for visitors during this time.

It's important to mention that during the event, a lamb is traditionally slain and the meat is distributed to the community.
