Ramadan is just around the corner. With the pandemic slowing down and regulations loosening, Muslims in Jakarta are looking forward to celebrating this holy month in the best way possible. It is time when families gather around the table to share iftar meals and the community gets together to the mosque to pray in preparation to celebrate the upcoming Eid Al Fitr. To help in that celebration, Little Steps has prepared a special coverage for you to celebrate Ramadan in Jakarta this year. From dining to fashion, decorations, and entertainment, we’ve got you covered!
Whether you plan to celebrate at home or go out to break fast with your friends and family, it wouldn't hurt to dress to impress! Zalora offers a variety of Muslim wear for men and women. If you're looking for matching family outfits, head over to Elzatta. For more luxurious options, you can check out Ava Prologue, Merras RTW, or Lace by Artkea.
