While dining with the royal family, the trio broke bread and participated in the ritual known as Iftar, an evening meal that is conducted after a day of fasting.
The celebration of Iftar requires a prayer to Allah before receiving the meal.
"O Allah! it is for thee that I observe fast and it is with Thine blessing that I break it."
Obama is traveling this summer with her daughters and mother to Liberia, Morocco, and Spain to spread her “Let Girls Learn” initiative.
