Photos: Sharing iftar at home around the UAE

Jehanzeb Abbas, Syed Stubbzir Zulfiqar, Syed Ameer Abbas, Kinza Falima and Sidra Talheer sit for iftar in Dubai. Each day during Ramadan, families, friends and colleagues end their fast together with a shared iftar. For this important meal, some prefer the traditional foods that they grew up eating, while others opt to try out various cuisines. Yet others choose to share meals with less privileged members of the community.
