Eid Mubarak - weekend events!

Eid Mubarak everyone (even if it may not start until Saturday the weekend has somehow already begun).

In Stockholm, the Umm Kulthum-ensemble of the Cairo Opera House is performing.


And here in Abu Dhabi, the Middle East International Film Festival starts on Sunday! I will attend the gala opening and hopefully see some of the films next week. Several of the featured Middle Eastern films look really interesting, including Persepolis and several other.

Friday update: it is Eid now! And in Stockholm, the public were treated to food outside the mosque to celebrate.
