During the holy month of Ramazan, believers abstaining from food and drink during daylight hours break their fast with an iftar evening meal.

From inside a coal mine in Bosnia and Herzegovina to a mosque in Sao Paulo Brazil, Reuters photographers have produced images capturing the daily practice just after sunset in different countries.

The meals vary from simple plates of watermelon and cheese in a Syrian rebel-controlled town to a cooked prison meal in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as a beach picnic in Morocco.
