As the Holy Month of Ramadhan enters its final stretch, with the last ten days fast approaching, security has been intensified in Mombasa to ensure the safety of worshippers, the business fraternity and shoppers.
During the final days, Muslims immerse themselves in night prayers at mosques, as it is believed that the highly significant night on which the Holy Qur'an was revealed and considered better than 1,000 months falls within this period.
Most shops in the Central Business District (CBD) remain open late into the night, creating vibrant markets along major streets.
Shoppers from every corner of Mombasa flock to these areas as preparations for the Eid celebration gain momentum.
