EID GIFT GUIDE: guest in a green mountain village

Tradition reigns supreme here. Women will wear their gold and have their henna done, and it is polite to immitate that. Visiting friends and relatives is the mainstay of the Eid, so wearing shoes that are easy to take on and off, but can also handle steep and less than even terrain, is a must, as is perfume.
