This Ramadan, Abu Dhabi invites visitors to immerse themselves in a season of cultural richness, community spirit, and timeless traditions. From historic landmarks to vibrant gatherings, the emirate offers a unique blend of authentic heritage and enriching experiences, making it the perfect destination to embrace the Ramadan spirit.
Clarifications for Indian Travellers
To cater to Indian travellers, Abu Dhabi clarifies that Muslims will fast between sunrise and sunset. However, this does not apply to non-Muslims and tourists who are not observing the fast. Restaurants and cafés have been permitted to operate as usual in recent years, allowing those not fasting to dine normally throughout the day.
Abu Dhabi, as a rapidly emerging destination, has also ensured that Indian travellers have access to drinking water in public places, dispelling the misconception that fasting is mandatory for everyone during Ramadan.
