The holy month of Ramadan is a sacred month of fasting, spiritual growth, gratitude, and acts of kindness. It is also an ideal time to experience the warm hospitality and rich heritage in the UAE as the country comes alive with traditions, vibrant Iftar feasts, and immersive cultural activities. During the day, the city emanates a peaceful atmosphere perfect for exploring cultural landmarks, traditional souks, and shopping at incredible seasonal sales. At sunset, Dubai comes alive with spectacular Iftar feasts, pop-up Ramadan tents, and bustling Ramadan Night Markets featuring local crafts, artisanal goods, and live performances. Suhoor gatherings before dawn provide another great opportunity to partake in cultural traditions during Ramadan. Themed light shows at Burj Khalifa, Dubai Festival City, and Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque offer a spectacular blend of tradition and modernity and are certainly not to be missed. However, it is important to observe social etiquette during the holy month. The general rule is that eating, drinking, smoking, or playing loud music in public is prohibited from sunrise to sunset. Major nightclubs may be closed, but most bars and pubs open in the evening, serving alcohol after 7 pm. Nonetheless, Ramadan offers a wealth of unique opportunities to discover the city in a tranquil and culturally enriching way, making it a truly special time to visit the UAE. *Tentative dates: 28th February 2025 - 28th March 2025
