In the Pakistani city of Peshawar, vendors offer dates - the traditional snack with which to end the fast.

Muslims around the world are observing the holy month of Ramadan by fasting from dawn to dusk.

During Ramadan Muslims refrain from consuming food, drinking liquids and smoking. After sunset Muslims are allowed to break their fast and eat and drink.

Over time, Iftar - the breaking of the fast - has grown into a social gathering with festivals and buffets where families, especially women challenge themselves to cook the most delicious traditional dishes and desserts.

Thank you for your pictures of Iftar, take a look at some of your pictures of Ramadan treats.
