Ramadan Kareem
As you all know by now, it is the month of Ramadan. It's the time to think about the ones that are not as fortune as you, so that's one of the reason why they're fasting. As a non-muslim here in Dubai, we don't really notice much difference except that working hours are shorter and that no restaurants serves food until sunset (around 7 p.m.).
There are some fast food chain that still serves take-away during the day, but it's forbidden to eat in public (except for children and pregnat women), so if you do buy take-away, you'll have to take it back home or eat in your car! (that's what we did).
But as you all can imagine, people are HUNGRY during the day. And it does shows in trafic that people are driving crazier than usual. The positive side of Ramadan is that all the major hotells are building upp huge tents to serve delicious buffé after sunset by the beach. So me and T went to Sheraton one evening and it was really festive!
