Celebrating Ramadan in Cuba — in pictures

  • Arabic

Muslims make up less than 0.1 per cent of Cuba’s population, with only about 10,000 of them in the country. While they are able to practise their religion freely, many face practical problems like finding dates to break their fast and learning Arabic, which is not offered at local universities.
