This year Ramadan is expected to take place between Sunday May 5 and Tuesday June 4 and it’s a time to be respectful and be aware of local customs.
Many people in Abu Dhabi will be fasting between sunrise and sunset. For that reason many of the city’s restaurants will have changed opening hours.
However, if you are non-Muslim and are not fasting, there are a number of venues that will be open during the day.
Extra considerations will be made since food and drink must only be consumed indoors and out of sight with some restaurants using screened-off areas during daylight hours.
Here are the details you need to know.
