The holy month of Ramadan is a month for giving and sharing, and in Dubai this year this is clearly evident. 

There is so much love and sharing going on in Dubai right now, here are just some of the generous and charitable deeds happening in the city:

1. At the beginning of Ramadan, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai HH Sheikh Mohammed called for the public and private sector to help establish a culture of goodness during the holy month, and people listened. 

2. It wouldn’t be a Ramadan giving story in Dubai without mentioning the hugely successful Ramadan sharing fridges which are back again for the second year
