What's Dubai like during Ramadan?

Changes during Ramadan in Dubai:

No eating, drinking and/or smoking in public during the day and shops/stores will have different opening hrs. E.g. being closed in the afternoon and stay open late at night.

These days most Hotels offer designated areas for non Muslim to eat and drink (inclusive alcohol) and last year I was surprised to see that even regular restaurants served food/drinks without "hiding". When at a hotel pool/beach you will be advised to eat or drink in the changing rooms while outside.

Bars, clubs and pubs will still be open but no life music and no consuming alcohol outside.

If it's better to visit Dubai during or after Ramadan depends on your preferences. Shopping and sightseeing won't be affected (also not at Burj Khalifa). While it might be not so convient to enjoy outdoor activities (unless on hotel permisses) you on the other hand would have the chance to enjoy Iftar dinner buffets when Muslims break the fast in the evening.

You also will find many Ramadan offers if interested in shopping.

Last but not least, during Ramadan you should be dressed a bit moderate if you don't do so anyway.

Therefore, if you plan to stay in any 5 star hotel, your vacation hardly won't be affected by Ramadan. If you'll stay in a budget hotel and have to dine in not hotel connected restaurants - different story.

Dubai's entice for tourists is situated mostly on shopping, but additionally on their possession of different ancient and contemporary attractions, discover more of the city with Hotelbye . Dubai's landmark creating is the Burj Khalifa, the 829.8 metros building, the tallest one in the world. For most visitors a visit to the remark terrace on the 124th ground listed here is a must-do whilst in the city. The opinions across the city skyline from this bird's-eye perspective are only staggering. Straight back on the floor, wrapping round the Burj Khalifa, would be the building's superbly developed gardens with twisting walkways. There are plenty of water functions such as the Dubai Fountain, the world's highest doing fountain.

Eating out freely outdoors might be a huge hindrance and it is very disrespectful of eating something in front of someone who is fasting. This is the rule which is followed in every muslim country out of courtesy. I think it is better if you visit Dubai after Ramadan. However, Malaysia is a different kettle of fish even during Ramdan days. You can drink, party, eat and do everything. There is no religious practice going on practically even though it is a Muslim country.

Not Dubai only, all UAE are doing that. because it was a command from The Principal of UAE(but it was actually from the principal of abu dhabi). However, the resturants are the most attraction that are not allowed to open. but some not all of rest. some do open but it reduce the light and the smell too.

It is better to go after they break their fast.

I used to stay in Dubai and in basic terms at present moved. i wager the significant component of aspect out is that you incredibly won't be able to be eating or eating in public throughout the time of image voltaic hours. eating places will also be closed, or a minimum of no longer serving foodstuff until eventually the time to break quick. if you're staying in a inn it might want to correctly be slightly distinct- you're in a position to likely devour in the course of the day, as they are extra deepest. perhaps if you're staying in a inn, they could grant you with suggestion on their regulations.

better to go after ramadan if u like drinks and discos.

but u can roam aroun and have fum all night in ramadan and sleep or relax at home during day .

Yes, it is better to go after Ramadan.

You can eat indoors in your home, in restaurants that get a permit which most of them do and in food courts and restaurants of malls. I think they're not as strict as they used to be.

No difference at all, just not allowed to eat, but other things remain the same ................

people usually hold off in the month of ramadhan then it goes back to normal.
