As preparations for Ramadan ramp up, it’s also a time to reflect on the significance of the holy month and its traditions. Ramadan follows the lunar calendar, which is about 10–12 days shorter than the Gregorian calendar. This means Ramadan begins earlier each year, cycling through different seasons over 33 years.
The holy month starts with the crescent moon’s sighting and ends the same way, symbolizing the importance of community and reflection.
Visit the Ramadan Souq at Grand Souq Deira to embrace the spirit of Ramadan with shopping, entertainment, and cultural activities.
