As Muslims across Kenya marked Eid-ul-Adha, expectations were high for vibrant celebrations, busy travel, and booming business—especially in coastal destinations like Mombasa. But this year, the mood in the city was unusually quiet.
Few local tourists turned up, leaving many business owners who had stocked up for the season counting losses. From empty beaches to unsold livestock, the festive spirit was dimmed by rising economic pressures. Even goat sellers expressed frustration, urging the government to reduce taxes to ease the burden.
