Holy Month of Ramadan- a month of fasting and three days of celebrations

A time of the year where all Muslims around the world abstain from all types of food, drink and smoking, daily fasting period ends with an Iftar feast. The timings and the dates of the Ramadan festival differ according to the lunar calendar each year. Shops and food outlets remain closed during the day time and opened after sunset for Iftar. Visitors to the country in need of accommodation could consider a stay at a featured villa Abu Dhabi has in store such as Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Yamm Villa Resort, Abu Dhabi. This year the end of the fasting period was celebrated on the 16th of July, after the sighting of moon. Even though shops and restaurants are closed or remained open for shortened hours the hotels and resorts continue to be open to guests and are treated as any other day. In Abu Dhabi, Eid Al Fitr is a grand celebration shared amongst family and friends and the friendly locals are more than happy to share their joy with Muslim & Non-Muslim visitors alike.
