Ramadan at Al -Bidda Park -2024 -photos by Alma Wad


Almost full moon. A walk in the park a couple of days ago. The moon was shining very beautifully. It  was pleasant weather, and the crickets chirped cheerfully .

A lonely performer in the tent of light. The park's evening air was filled with the sound of crickets chirping, a lute's voice, and the voice of a solitary Arab singer.




Ramadan decorations in the park. Similar booths were scattered around. They  had some luxurious vibes.  However, everyone was welcome    to   relax   there .
