In Mombasa, Muslims converged at Masjid Ummu Kulthum for prayers to mark the Festival of Sacrifice, one of the holiest celebrations in the Islamic calendar.

Muslims traditionally mark the day with special prayers held in mosques and open grounds early in the morning, followed by charitable acts and communal celebrations.
