Other faiths invite Dubai Muslims to break fast together during Ramadan
During the month of Ramadan in the UAE, a number of foreign residents and followers of different religions are gathering to break their fast together.
For two years, the Muslim holy month of Ramadan in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) had not been the same amid the coronavirus pandemic. This year, however, things seem to be back to normal, with respect for public safety rules.
Restaurants are once again swarming with customers during fast breaking time or iftar, and during special Ramadan evenings.
However, humanitarian and collective initiatives have been launched in a country in which foreign residents outnumber citizens.
In addition to the government iftar tents across the seven emirates that distribute meals for free, other humanitarian initiatives are being carried out by foreign and non-Muslim communities.
