The evening begins on the eve of Eid al-Adha with his friends and continues until the morning, filled with fun and games, whether electronic or card games. On Eid morning, the family is committed to slaughtering the sacrificial animal at home, with Ashour and his father sharing the task. This is followed by a traditional breakfast that never changes: "Eid liver."

Al-Helmeya... an unforgettable childhood memory Ashour noted his deep connection to the Helmeya district, the neighborhood where he grew up. He explained that no Eid al-Adha holiday passes without him taking a stroll through its old streets, cheerfully saying, "I have to eat at Baba Abdo's. It's one of the most important Eid rituals for me." His childhood memories of Helmeya remain strongly present in the Egyptian artist's psyche.

From stage fright to supporting the president Ashour spoke about his repeated experience singing in front of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, explaining that the initial fear turned into reassurance over time thanks to the president's support and encouragement. He said, "I was very nervous the first time, but now I feel reassured, and the president is the reason for that." He added that participating in official Eid celebrations always holds a special place in his career.

Playing ping pong in a party suit Tamer Ashour stole the spotlight during the recent Eid celebrations with a spontaneous shot, appearing to play ping pong with children, wearing the same white suit he performed in at the concert. Smiling, he said, "I finished singing and went down to play with them in the same suit. It was a spontaneous and sweet moment." This playful spirit increased the audience's interaction with his appearance, making his performance more relatable.
