    PREPARATIONS
    Ramadan decorations in Abu Dhabi. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. It is regarded as the holiest month of the year as it was the month in which the Quran was revealed to Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him) on the night of Laylat Al Qadr, one of the last ten nights of Ramadan.

    PREPARATIONS
    Dubai’s Department of Economic Development issued a circular stating that restaurants in the emirate will not have to screen visible dining areas during fasting hours in the Holy Month of Ramadan. Restaurants will be allowed to serve customers without putting curtains, dividers or facades as has been the mandatory practice previously. Restaurants are also not required to obtain a permit for serving food to customers during Ramadan fasting hours. Above, Ramadan decorations at the Mall of the Emirates.

    PREPARATIONS
    Every day during the holy month of Ramadan, a single shot is fired at the time of iftar and two shots are fired to mark the start of the holy month and the commencement of Eid. Dubai Police have been making the final arrangements and remain on standby to fire the cannons that will announce the sighting of the new crescent and the start of Ramadan, as is tradition since the early 1960s.
