Be generous: Enter into the spirit of Ramadan by making a donation to a worthy cause, such as Sushi Central’s Labourers in Mussafah project in partnership with Abu Dhabi Cause Connect. Sushi Central has become a collection point for used clothes, food and others items, which the team will then distribute to labourers in need. Until 5pm every day during Ramadan.
Sushi Central, Khalidyah Street (600 52 0007).
Visit a cultural festival: Throughout Ramadan and Eid Al Fitr the Emirates Heritage Club will be hosting a festival at the National Theatre. Featuring lectures, seminars, a Holy Qur’an recitation competition, music performances and a play for the kids, it’s all free to attend.
Abu Dhabi Corniche, Breakwater (050 273 2131).
Spot a dolphin: While it’s not guaranteed, there have been plenty of sightings on Saadiyat Island of these beautiful sea mammals. Even if you don’t see one of Flipper’s cousins though, a day of luxury lounging at the Monte-Carlo Beach Club might be just as fun.
