Kairouan marks Islamic New Year traditions
The Islamic New Year is celebrated in the Kairouan region, preserving inherited customs and traditions that focus on spiritual atmosphere and family bonds. Preparations begin with preparing the molokhia dish before the evening, followed by symbolic foods such as couscous with dried meat, eggs, fava beans, and chickpeas in the morning, as expressions of hope and blessings for the new year. The night is also characterized by women applying henna as a symbol of wishes, and mosques and zawiyas host Quran recitations and supplications, traditions that emphasize family ties and adherence to cultural heritage.
