In tandem with the colorful celebration of Eid in Malé City, the government has decided to install ceremonial arches (Gidige) across the entire nation to illuminate the occasion. Efforts are underway to install the same in Malé City.
This year, as well, vehicular movement will be prohibited in the city from 4 pm to 8 pm to facilitate peaceful pedestrian movement. Eid being a day when many people venture out with their families, this time frame is specifically allocated for pedestrians.
