TheSix Eid entertaining

Be the host with the most this Eid Al-Adha with these thoughtful tips on keeping your limited number of guests comfortable despite the soaring temperatures.

Throw some

shade

In absense of shaded parking, putting up large parasols can go a long way in keeping your guests’ vehicles

from becoming unbearably hot.

Keep kids

busy

As the outdoors is off limits, set up

a table with fun activities for younger

guests so their parents can get some

time off.

A chilly reception

As temperatures peak, a chilled glass

of tamarind juice or an ice cold date

milkshake will ensure a sweet start

to the festivities.

Cold cravings

While Eid Al-Adha

festivities are all about traditional rice and meat-based

dishes, be sure to offer up a refreshing

salad too.

Cool down

Store disposable moist towelettes in the fridge before your guests arrive and offer them up as they walk

in for a little hotelstyle service at home.

Sweeten

the deal

As for dessert, the summer calls for a cold dish to be served

up. Chilled rice pudding, mahlabiya or kulfi ice cream are

all popular options.
