The story

Zliten Eid Hadrah Festival in Zliten

Zliten is home to a strongly documented Sufi Hadrah tradition centered on the Asmariya zawiya, including communal chanting and Mawlid-style street celebrations. A festival specifically branded Eid Hadrah under that exact name, however, was not independently confirmed, so this entry describes the underlying Sufi practice rather than a verified standalone event.

Zliten's reputation as a center of Sufi devotion in Libya rests substantially on the Asmariya zawiya, a historic religious lodge that has anchored the town's spiritual life for generations.
