Up to 123 million Indonesians expected to travel during the end of Ramadan, enduring hours of traffic and congested airports and seaports to celebrate Eid al Fitr with their families in their hometowns

Authorities have temporarily made some highways leaving the Indonesian capital Jakarta one way to ease congestion.

This year marks the first "mudik", as the annual exodus is known, since Covid-19 restrictions were removed at the end of 2022 in the world's most populous Muslim-majority country. "I’m happy to meet my parents after quite a while and to be able to perform Eid prayer together," Muhammad Naufal Vadina told AFP by phone on Wednesday.

"We found out on Instagram that the Navy has a free 'mudik' programme using a warship. It was our first time having such a journey," said 33-year-old passenger Nurul Febryanti.
