Ramadan in DubaiAs it is based on the Islamic lunar calendar, the dates of Ramadan vary each year. The official start of the holy month is announced when the crescent moon of the ninth month (of the traditional Islamic calendar) rises.
Ramadan lasts for approximately 30 days, until the next new crescent moon has been sighted, which signals the start of Eid Al Fitr.
The pace of the city slows down, and time is taken to reflect, refresh and grow. The experience for tourists during this time is rich in culture and there is many opportunities to engage with locals
During this webinar we will cover:
Ramadan – overview, Iftars and unique interactive experiences
Authentic Cultural experiences – activities, experiences, events
By the end of this webinar you will have a deeper understanding of Ramadan and how it is celebrated in Dubai.
You will be able to advise your clients that it’s a great time to visit the city as it will allow them to experience the authentic culture and explore the city in a slower than normal pace. We will also ensure you have all the answers to those unknown questions of what you can and cannot do during Ramadan, the unique experiences and operating hours of tourism products.
