Maysan’s Villages Celebrate Ramadan Traditions

In the mountainous villages of Maysan Governorate, south of Taif, Ramadan remains a season of profound social cohesion and cultural preservation, where life strikes a unique balance between spiritual devotion and agricultural duties, as residents tend their farms in the cool morning hours before gathering for communal worship.

 A cornerstone of the month is the communal iftar, where neighbors gather in open courtyards to share traditional dishes and renew social ties. Following taraweeh prayers, elders pass down folk tales and ancestral customs to the youth, fostering a deep sense of belonging. Despite modern shifts, these villages maintain a lifestyle rooted in cooperation, hospitality, and the enduring values of kinship.
