Warning: This is a verrrrrrrrrrrrrry long post.
This is the Ramadan period and invitation for Iftar (breaking the fast) are the order of the daily invites.
It is usually a very lavish buffet with many dishes.
I have skipped pictures of the Soups station as well as the fresh juices station. I also did not include the Western dishes and desserts as well as the Falafel and whatnot.
This will give you a pretty illustrated picture of a typical Ramadan Iftar.
Today the invite was at a private house where I was able to take some Iphone pictures.
