On March 11, 2024, the Holy Month of Ramadan will begin in the UAE
Ramadan is a holy month in Islam where Muslims around the world focus on spiritual growth, self-purification and charity. The beginning of Ramadan is determined by the lunar calendar, therefore, according to astrological data, the Holy Month will begin on March 11 and will last 30 days, ending on April 10, 2024.
During Ramadan, the country turns into a special place. The Emirates is filled with the atmosphere of a spiritual holiday, and Muslims flock to mosques for prayers, to read the Quran and communicate with the Almighty.
The Holy Month is a time when believers observe a strict daily fast, abstaining from food and drink until sunset. Once the sun has set in the evening, families come together to enjoy iftar, a traditional meal that marks the end of the day's fast.
Ramadan in the UAE is a period of deep spirituality, communication and family values. Fasting and traditional customs signify spiritual growth, self-denial and discipline.
