9 types of people during Eid
Whether you’re 9 or 90, we’re sure you have some Eid traditions that are unique to you and that bring you joy. And since Eid traditions vary from person to person, we’ve decided to round up 9 types of people you may encounter on Eid. Start reading to get to know them!
The high roller
For many, Eid is associated with buying brand new clothes. But we all know someone who overdoes it. They say they’re going to get a few new things and then end up with 9, making us wonder if they’re putting together a fashion show that we don’t yet know about!
The people’s person
Many consider Eid an opportunity to see family and friends. But some take this so seriously that they refuse to limit their visits to the usual 2 or 3 a day. Instead, they insist on visiting at least 9 relatives and neighbours every day that you’d think they’re allergic to staying at home!
The ma’amoul addict
Who doesn’t love ma’amoul? No one! But while some are satisfied with eating a few of these heavenly sweets, others have to have them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner during Eid. And as soon as the holiday ends, you’ll find them standing on a scale asking themselves, “how did I gain 9 kilos?” The ma’amoul is the culprit!
The theatre buff
Ever since classic plays like Al Ayal Kibrit and Madraset el-Moshaghbeen were brought to television, it’s tradition for many to watch them during Eid. Maybe it’s for the comedic relief or the nostalgia they offer. Regardless, these people never tire of them, even if they’ve watched them 9 times in a row!
The pretend money-keeper
Cash gifts are an inseparable part of Eid. And one would think it’s children who await this holiday the most because they know they’re about to collect at least 9 JOD from grandma. But in every family, there’s always one person who’s known to say, “I’ll keep your money safe.” Our advice — keep this trickster away from your kids because they’re not a Bank al Etihad savings account!
The homebody
While some excel at shopping for Eid clothes, others welcome this holiday in their PJs and have no qualms about keeping them on from 9am to 9pm or until it’s time to wear a new pair. And to be fair, PJs are on a different level. Those who get all dressed up should know they’re missing out on some fun!
The globetrotter
Some prefer to stay in town with their family and friends during Eid, while others seize the chance to travel and go sightseeing. Those in the second group start saving up 9 months before their upcoming adventure because they know too well that ticket prices skyrocket during the holidays.

The overly generous
As we mentioned before, everyone has different traditions during Eid. And the person who falls into this category is no different, but maybe rare. They’re the type to find happiness when giving to others, especially children. You’ll find they give money left, right, and centre to the extent that they’re only left with 9 JOD in their pocket!
The smart saver
While some spend a lot of money on clothes, food, and travel during Eid, the smart saver doesn’t. They keep all the cash gifts they receive hidden away in a Bank al Etihad savings account to increase their chance of winning 9,999 JOD every day or 99,999 JOD every 90 days!
And you can be a smart saver too! All you have to do is open a Tharaa savings account from Bank al Etihad and regularly top it up for a chance to win.
