Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and fasting from dawn to sunset is a ritual during\u00a0this period. Many expats are unaware of the significance of this month and therefore turn to search giant\u00a0Google for answers, while those who have better knowledge\u00a0use the platform to research other aspects of Ramadan. Between the shorter working hours,\u00a0Iftars and Suhours,\u00a0this is what UAE is searching this Ramadan. Thank you Google Trends.<\/p>\n

There were many Ramadan-related\u00a0questions asked. We’re pretty sure these three were expat queries…<\/h3>\n

1.\u00a0What is the first day of Ramadan?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Remember our announcement last week? If not,\u00a0this is what we told you<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0What is the response to Ramadan Kareem?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"161Igb\"<\/figure>\n

3.\u00a0What are the official working hours in the private sector during Ramadan?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Work hours are generally shortened by two hours (so that’s 9am to 4pm), but this rule\u00a0may not apply to all\u00a0industries.\u00a0Here<\/a> is what you can do with those two extra hours you get each day.<\/p>\n

The most popular foods at Iftar seem to be…<\/h3>\n
