This year, the holy month of Ramadan (or Uraza), the period of Muslim fasting, is reckoned from the beginning of October. At this time, Muslims are forbidden from sunrise to sunset to eat, drink, smoke and have fun. So that people who do not profess Islam, feel comfortable, in some hotels restaurants will be open for breakfast and lunch. They will be fenced off from prying eyes so that guests of the emirate feel at home here, but do not forget about respect for religious traditions.
After sunset, all Muslims make Iftar, an evening meal that completes the daytime fasting, and rest with the family.
For an evening conversation, or just to have a good time with friends, you can visit any of the beautiful tents spread out at the Dubai hotels. Here, usually from 7 pm to 3 am, they serve snacks, drinks, hookah and offer board games.
