Summer Traditions at Your Country.. Share!

Hello,

Summer is the most important season for many people in this world. It is the time that everybody awaits from a year to another.

Its importance arises from it being the time for Holidays, Traveling and Entertainment.

Many people travel during this time back to their home countries to meet their relatives or to other countries for tourism and leisure.

Others wait for this season to get a long holiday from a full-year stress and work and do what we can call "recharging " for resuming work and returning back to the stress after the end of the holidays.

Students all over the world await the summer to relax from nearly a 9 months period of study, tests and exams.

Let us share how every one of us spend his summer holidays and what are the different activities he usually do ?

Also, can every one share the different traditions of celebrating summer in his country ?

Waiting for your replies...

My Regards...

About my different traditions of celebrating summer, all what I do is working more maybe, I have a number of plans to visit 2 of the coastal cities here in Egypt to escape from that hot weather which dominates Egypt this summer, moreover I have one more plan to travel to one african country but I suppose that it will be a work trip, after all and till now all this are still plans, nothing for sure, wish that I can do it all and have more fun this summer.

Great topic Anas, Thanks

June is the month the mango's grow, the mango trees bear many mangos, in my country,kids are home from school,i am fron the county and we wake up very early and run to the mangos trees to look for mangos,underneath the trees,that fell from the night before,the one who finds a mango is the lucky one for the day.

Assalamualaikum Anas

Summer in India is hot and humid so people usually travel to hill stations to enjoy the cool air of the mountains.Many others go to their ancestral towns where life moves in a slow pace unlike the hustle and bustle of cities.

This is also the time when there are weddings in families and children learn the culture and traditions.As India is multicultural every state speaks a different language and has different culture.

There are also lots of summer activities for boys and girls,no chance of boredom.

As for me and my family we went for Umrah and spent our summer in the peaceful atmosphere of Mecca and Medina.Here is where I relax and distress myself in the Haram.One never tires of gazing at the sight of the Kaaba and performing Tawaf.The site upon which the mercy and blessings of Allah are constantly descending.I came back rejuvenated.

May Allah give all Muslims the opportunity to visit to His House.

India is very rich with its cultural activities and the summer traditions are of no exception.

Your visit to Mecca in my opinion is the best thing a Muslim can do in his life not in summer only.

Thanks brother for yor wonderful reply.

My Regards

A very nice topic to relax for a change. I liked the mango vacation "warda" J, which by the way means "rose". Rose and mangos what a beautiful way to spend the holidays. I also liked very much hindi's comment. This is a unique way to relax indeed, it's been a long time since I've been to Macca and Madina and I'm looking forward to go there soon inshallah. I planed to spend part of the holidays on the beautiful Egyptian beaches in Sinai. I also will visit some of my relatives in other parts of Egypt. I wish you'd spend a beautiful summer vacation with your loved ones.

So traveling is the way you spend your summer? By the way, Sinai is very beautiful and I went there 4 years ago and I climbed Eltour Mountain.

It was a wonderful night staying at its top.

My Regards

I dont know if it is true concerning if he turned pale.

But concerning the pyramids, I agree with you.

I went there 2 times before and it is really wonderful.

I hope you will get the chance to visit it one day.

My Regards
