The event will mark the end of Eid al-Adha, the second of two Islamic holidays celebrated worldwide each year, and considered the holier of the two.

It honors the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son, as an act of obedience to God's command.

Eid al-Adha is the latter of the two Eid holidays, the former being Eid al-Fitr.

This year, Eid al-Adha will begin in the evening of 21 August and end on 25 August.
