The holy month of Ramadan is one of the most important and reflective times in the Islamic calendar. In Dubai, the period is marked by a host of Ramadan-related activities with both private and public organisations hosting events for families and friends throughout the month. Residents of different nationalities come together to share the spirit of Ramadan and Emirati hospitality and traditions including Iftars (the first meal to break one’s fast), the Holy Quran recital competition, Ramadan Night Market and the Ramadan Forum.
