If you are new to Dubai\u2026welcome! If it is your first Ramadan in Dubai\u2026hold on! Let us share some important information. The city is extremely tolerant and welcomes people of different ethnic backgrounds. Therefore as residents, our responsibility is to ensure we reciprocate in equal measure. In short: we are sensitive to those fasting during the Holy Month of Ramadan. Here are some dos and don\u2019ts to help you navigate your way through this month.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0Drinking water in public is a no-no<\/h3>\n

The mall toilets and emergency exits of your office\u00a0building are counted as public space!<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0So is eating in public…a\u00a0definite NO!<\/h3>\n

Do so in the boundaries of your home.<\/p>\n

3. Be prepared for late nights<\/h3>\n

Suhoor is where\u00a0all the networking happens.<\/p>\n

\"Ram3A\"<\/figure>\n

4. Sign up for some charity work<\/h3>\n

Nothing satisfies more than helping someone in need.<\/p>\n

5. Forget the shisha and ciggys for a couple of hours<\/h3>\n

Leave the hubbly bubbly for Suhoor.<\/p>\n

6. Behave yourself at all times<\/h3>\n

Keep a safe distance from your BAE.<\/p>\n

\"Ram6\"<\/figure>\n

7. Be cautious when driving<\/h3>\n

Roads are deadlier during this time of the year.<\/p>\n

\"Ram7\"<\/figure>\n

8. Dress modestly<\/h3>\n

Those fasting, or any of us for that matter, do NOT appreciate skin show!<\/p>\n

\"Ram8\"<\/figure>\n

9. Go easy at Iftar\u00a0\u00a0<\/h3>\n

You do not want to be ‘one of those’ hospitalised for overeating.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Ram9\"<\/figure>\n

10. Mind your language<\/h3>\n

Profanities and\u00a0insults are considered a crime so think twice (thrice or even a million times)\u00a0before you\u00a0go on that swearing spree.<\/p>\n
