Long Weekend Ramadan Holiday, What are Some Good Activities to Do?

Ramadan has been the most awaited month of the year for Muslims worldwide. However, there’s something different about this year’s Ramadan. In the middle of Ramadan, on April 15th, 2022, to be exact, it happens to also be the commemoration of Good Friday as one of the national religious holidays.

It’s too bad to miss a long weekend holiday like this. However, there are usually many people, especially Muslims, who don’t feel like going anywhere since they’re fasting. Well, you shouldn’t use fasting as a reason to hold your holiday activities. There are many exciting activity ideas that you can do while enjoying the long weekend Ramadan holiday!

Visit an Indoor Tourist Destination
One activity that is mainly avoided when fasting is an outdoor activity. The hot weather during the day can be the biggest challenge to the point that many of those who are fasting are tempted to break their fast. This makes the fasting less earnest.

If the problem is the location, you can opt for indoor vacations. There are many indoor tourist destinations that you can visit, and of course, they are free from the sun's scorching heat. Museums can be the choice for your and your family to enrich your knowledge of history. On the other hand, art exhibitions can be your destination for those who want to look for fresh inspirations.

Binge-Watch Your Favourite Series
No activity is more enjoyable than watching TV series on your favorite streaming services. You won't notice that you have watched one or two seasons while fasting. You may not feel the thirst and hunger since you're so focused on the stories of the main character of your favorite series.

However, what will happen when your streaming service is cut off because you haven't paid for the subscription? It won't be enjoyable to settle the bill when you're in the middle of watching your favorite series. So, don't forget to pay for the subscription.

Gardening
Ramadan holiday is often used as a reason to laze around. But actually, fasting is not a hindrance to staying active and being productive. If you’re someone who always wants to be productive while fasting, you might try gardening. Gardening may sound very tiring, especially if you have a big garden. But don’t worry, the gardening we’re talking about here is the lite version, where you will deal with flowers or ornamental plants.

Planting flowers and ornamental plants will not require much energy because you only need to arrange the plants in pots. You might even make money from growing ornamental plants. It’s because lately, many new hobbyists are willing to spend a lot for one ornamental plant.

Take Your Family for a Drive and Have Iftar Together Outside
