Ramadan
The holy month of Ramadan is a time when Muslims fast between sunrise and sunset.Non-Muslims must respect the fast and also are not permitted to eat, drink or smoke in public during daylight hours. It is also even more important than usual to wear appropriate non-revealing clothing.Hotels have a restaurant open for their guests and some coffee shops and restaurants are open, screened or curtained off from public view.Supermarkets and food stores are open and take-away food is available - but it must not be consumed in public.Some shops don't open until after evening prayers, others open normally throughout the day, some open all day but close during prayer times.The evening is when everything is up and running, with shops and restaurants often open until the early morning hours.
