People across Turkey celebrated the first day of the holiday with many mosques packed for Eid al-Fitr prayers early in the morning and people hosting friends and families at their homes.
The roads leading to the Old City area of occupied East Jerusalem were filled with young, old, women, men, and children who wanted to go to Al-Aqsa Mosque.
On Monday, thousands of worshippers were seen at the Grand Mosque in Saudi Arabia's holy city of Mecca to perform the early morning special Eid prayers. Similar scenes were seen in and around mosques in other countries such as Egypt, Morocco and Jordan.
Eid al-Fitr is also usually marked with social gatherings, new clothes, and cookies filled with dates or nuts.
The holiday has brought joy, particularly to children, who receive candies and presents as part of the tradition.
Nearly 200,000 people performed the Eid prayer in Masjid al-Aqsa in East Jerusalem under Israeli occupation.
The first hours of the Ramadan feast in Jerusalem started with a festive atmosphere.
