It won’t be too long before working hours are reduced for Ramadan and residents start traveling for the summer break. But just before all that happens, here are the last few events you can attend for this season. Plus, there’s other stuff to keep you going through Ramadan should you be one of those who doesn’t fast.

1. Try an Iftar

And stay back for Suhoor too.

Embrace the culture of the city this Holy Month of Ramadan. Try fasting for the day (it’s not as easy as you think) and break your fast at an Iftar with family and friends. And just in case you need some help finding one, we’ll be sharing a list shortly (just one of the reasons why you should keep coming back).
