How Ramadan is Observed in the UAE

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic Hijri calendar and is observed by Muslims worldwide as a period of fasting from dawn to sunset. During this time:

Fasting:

Muslims refrain from eating, drinking, and other physical indulgences during daylight hours.

Iftar & Suhoor:

The fast is broken at sunset with iftar, a meal often enjoyed with family and friends. The pre-dawn meal, suhoor, is consumed before fasting resumes at sunrise.

Cannon Firing Tradition:

In Dubai and other emirates, cannons are fired at sunset to signal the end of the daily fast, a tradition deeply rooted in UAE culture.

Work and School Adjustments During Ramadan

To accommodate the spiritual and physical commitments of the holy month, several adjustments are made in the UAE:

  • Shorter Working Hours: Both the public and private sectors operate on reduced hours.
  • Flexible & Remote Work Options: Some businesses implement hybrid work models to support employees observing the fast.
  • School Timings: Public school students in the UAE follow distance learning for one day per week during Ramadan.

What Happens After Ramadan?

As Ramadan comes to an end, attention shifts to Eid Al Fitr 2025, the first major public holiday of the year. Eid Al Fitr marks the conclusion of the fasting period and is a time of celebration, charity, and togetherness.

Eid Al Fitr 2025

The exact date of Eid Al Fitr 2025 will be confirmed based on the sighting of the crescent moon of Shawwal.

Depending on whether Ramadan lasts 29 or 30 days, UAE residents can expect a 3 to 4-day public holiday for Eid celebrations.

Ramadan in the UAE – A Time of Reflection & Community

Ramadan is a time for spiritual renewal, generosity, and strengthening bonds with loved ones. The UAE embraces this special month with community iftars, charity drives, and traditional celebrations. Whether you’re observing the fast or experiencing the cultural essence of Ramadan, the spirit of unity and devotion is felt across the nation. Wishing everyone in the UAE a peaceful and blessed Ramadan.
