Ramadan 2022: Some useful tips on how to make the most of Ramadan in Abu Dhabi

These Ramadan tips are perfect for new expats to Abu Dhabi.

The Holy Month of Ramadan is a touching and memorable time for everyone, and a great opportunity to immerse yourself in the UAE’s traditions and culture.

But if you are new to the UAE and non-Muslim, these tips on how to make the most of Ramadan and advice on the etiquette to follow will make sure you won’t make any faux pas.

 

  • Embrace the community spirit and wish a blessed Ramadan to Muslim friends and colleagues; visit Suhoor tents, try group Iftars, and experience sumptuous Emirati dishes.
  • Even if you don’t fast, invite your Muslim friends over and go over for Iftar at their house, it is a sign of respect and friendliness.
  • Ramadan is known as the month of giving. Do the most out of charity and help the ones in need. Small gestures come with big satisfaction.
  • Eating and drinking in public during Ramadan is considered very offensive and can even attract a fine or a reprimand from the police. Many restaurants and cafes will remain open during Ramadan, and there could be designated screened-off areas within public places to eat for those who are not fasting.
  • During Ramadan, it is recommended that both men and women dress conservatively.
  • Listening to music loudly may offend those who are fasting. If you want to listen to music, it is acceptable to do so with the aid of headphones.
