The Holy Month of Ramadan is a sacred time for introspection and spiritual growth, through sacrifice and charity. This year, Ramadan is expected to begin on 12th March and end around 10th April 2024. This is a great time for tourists to visit the UAE to gain a deeper understanding of the rich local culture, traditions, and savor authentic Emirati hospitality. Despite a few restrictions in place—such as no eating, drinking, or smoking in public areas between sunrise and sunset—there are plenty of restaurants and malls with designated areas to enjoy the city's eclectic gastronomy and entertainment. A time of brilliant things to do, it's spectacular to see the city come alive at sunset with exciting Ramadan night markets and pop-ups. In Dubai, there’s Ramadan District 2.0 at Jumeirah Emirates Towers, Hai Ramadan at Expo City Dubai, and the Ramadan Souq at Al Fahidi Historic District, which are certainly not to be missed. Moreover, there are plenty of community events, charitable initiatives, delectable iftars, and immersive entertainment at shopping malls to be enjoyed. Ramadan is also a good time to take advantage of incredible hotel deals, attractions offers, and shopping discounts, where many malls and attractions have extended operational hours.
