In the [[Gulf Cooperation Council|Arab states of the Persian Gulf countries]], men would typically buy new {{Transliteration|ar|Thobe}} (traditional white long robe) or dye their existing {{Transliteration|ar|Thobes}} with [[walnut oil]]. Women would wear special clothes for the occasion along with special perfumes and braids. Most {{Transliteration|ar|[[majlis]]es}} would offer fruit, [[date (fruit)|date]]s, tea or coffee to visitors. Those who live in rural areas tend to celebrate more modestly.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://abudhabiculture.ae:443/en/discover/traditions/celebrating-eid |title=Celebrating Eid |date=1 February 2018 |website=Abu Dhabi Culture |access-date=11 May 2021 |archive-date=12 May 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210512150343/https://abudhabiculture.ae/en/discover/traditions/celebrating-eid |url-status=live}}</ref> Buildings, shops, roads and houses in UAE cities get decorated in bright festive lights.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://gulfnews.com/photos/news/eid-al-fitr-celebrations-amid-covid-19-restrictions-in-uae-1.1620733529934 |title=Eid Al Fitr celebrations amid COVID-19 restrictions in UAE |website=gulfnews.com |date=11 May 2021 |access-date=11 May 2021 |archive-date=11 May 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210511131636/https://gulfnews.com/photos/news/eid-al-fitr-celebrations-amid-covid-19-restrictions-in-uae-1.1620733529934 |url-status=live}}</ref> Many shows such as theatres would also occur.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://theculturetrip.com/middle-east/qatar/articles/how-to-celebrate-eid-al-fitr-in-doha/ |title=How to Celebrate Eid-al-Fitr in Doha |first=Farrah |last=Saville |website=Culture Trip |date=14 June 2018 |access-date=11 May 2021 |archive-date=11 May 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210511211906/https://theculturetrip.com/middle-east/qatar/articles/how-to-celebrate-eid-al-fitr-in-doha/ |url-status=live}}</ref>

[[Saudis]] decorate their homes and prepare sumptuous meals for family and friends. They prepare new clothes and shoes for the festival. Eid festivities in Saudi Arabia may vary culturally depending on the region, but one common thread in all celebrations is generosity and hospitality. It is a common Saudi tradition for families to gather at the patriarchal home after the Eid prayers. Before the special Eid meal is served, young children will line up in front of each adult family member, who dispense money as gifts to the children.<ref>{{cite web |title=Eid in Saudi Arabia's Hijaz region marked by family reunions |url=https://www.arabnews.com/node/1505951/saudi-arabia |website=arabnews |access-date=3 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190604012523/http://www.arabnews.com/node/1505951/saudi-arabia |archive-date=4 June 2019 |url-status=live}}</ref>

In modern times, supermarkets, corporates, and malls compete to attract children during this time via advertising in newspapers and on TV, and by offering special promotions and arranging closed [[Gargee'an]] events to market themselves.<ref>{{cite news |title="البحرين سيتي سنتر" يحتفل بليلة القرقاعون مساء اليوم |url=http://www.alayam.com/newsdetails.aspx?id=86247 |access-date=3 February 2013 |newspaper=Al Ayam |date=31 July 2012}}</ref>
