Ramadan is nothing less than a challenge—whether it’s about abstaining from food and water or observing a month where you dig deep in the pits of your soul to reconnect with god— it’s a tough one at that!

The first day of fasting happened yesterday and peeps are taking to social media to share their experience. 

It turns out Dubai has quite the sense of humour when it comes to talking about their Ramadan struggles.

Let’s take a look at some of those funny tweets.
