Ramadan

The holy month when Muslims honour the revelation of the Holy Koran. Those taking part in Ramadan in Dubai must abstain from eating and drinking during the hours of daylight and anyone visiting a Muslim country at this time must also refrain from eating and drinking in public. When the light fades in the evening the festivities begin and will usually go on till the small hours. This is known as Iftar, which means the daily breaking of the fast, and you will find tents crammed with people from many different backgrounds and religions eating many of the traditional Arabic foods on offer.
