As we all know Ramadan is just a week away where everyone is preparing to slow down on their business activities and to prepare themselves for the month of reflection and self-improvement. The Holy Month of Ramadan is indeed a time for reflection and fasting, but it doesn’t mean that there’s nothing to do in Dubai during this period.
Dubai is one of the Islamic countries where most of the population consists of foreigners and tourists. During this time of the year, there will be fewer activities during the daytime, and serving of alcohol is not allowed in certain restaurants or nightclubs checking beforehand is advisable. However, Dubai has plenty of things to offer, contrary to what others tend to say when they hear of someone wanting to come over during Ramadan. So Instead of contemplating on visiting during this season or keeping yourself stuck inside your apartment, go out and discover new things because there’s a lot out there.
There are other laid-back activities that are highly engaging during this season and experiencing the tradition and culture is one while finding yourself into the city’s picturesque destination is another way to spend your Ramadan.
Perhaps you’ll find yourself in one of the vents all over the town, malls until after midnight, themed parks, bazaars, iftar feasts, and workshops and seminars that are created to help you improve your skills and increase your networking opportunities.
Without breaking the tradition, we’re giving away some of the interesting activities and places to visit in Dubai during Ramadan.
