Ramadan is a significant month in the Islamic calendar and in Dubai, the period is marked by a host of Ramadan-related activities. The Dubai Events and Promotions Establishment organises numerous events during the month and the retail sector witnesses brisk business. Emarati hospitality and traditions are also very evident during this month as iftars are hosted across Dubai and residents of different nationalities come together to share the spirit of Ramadan. The Establishment, along with its partners from other government departments, will be organising family-oriented events inspired by the holy month. Planned activities will emphasize on the spiritual side of this occasion.
