Ramadan Things To Do in Dubai!

Dear Dubai-ites,

Ramadan Mubarak!

Mamma Mia Ristorante and Pizzeria's taken a moment out of our cooking schedule to work out a few things you can do during the Holy Month of Ramadan. There's a little something here for all....travellers, residing Expats and Emiratis! Hope this keeps you busy and helps you fill in your days and free time with the spirit of the month!

Understand the Arab Culture & Learn the Language!

Dubai is a muslim city based on Islam. The country harbours a diversity of cultures and religions, however, we must remember to be respectful of the local beliefs and practices during the month. Things you should abstain for during the month are: dressing provocatively, public displays of affection, eating/drinking in public until Iftar and cursing or instigating arguments among the main. In a way, it's a great excuse for non-muslim and expats as well to look within and gain inner peace, live a healthier lifestyle as well as re-learn the virtue of patience and open one's mind to different cultures. A great thing to do in your free time would be to try learning the Arabic alphabet...after all, another language under your belt is a great achievement!

Get your good side in the working!

A main attribute of Ramadan is charity and helping the less fortunate. Look up a few charitable institutes in Dubai and overseas countries (check with Unicef, Al Noor, Dubai Autism Center, Dubai Cares, Zayed Foundation...to name a few). You don't have to make a heafty donation...every dirham counts! If you're still not keep on letting go of your money to sources you don't know, call up a charitable institution and set up spending a day over among the children or old-aged. Your time's an investment that will put a smile to their faces!

Meet family and friends more often...no man's an island!

Plan Iftars with family and friends. The Holy Month's all about gaining a sense of community and family life! Socialize in the evenings and catch up on relations you'd been neglecting. Try out our Iftar All You Can Eat and Drink at Mamma Mia, Radisson Blu, Dubai Marina with live cooking stations at AED 79 amidst our enchanting decor perfect for some warmth and family time!

Explore art and Dubai history

Move around the city to the Dubai Museum, Heritage Village and Miraj Islamic Art Centre to name a few. It'll help you better understand the culture better while broadening your perspective!

Check out the Firing of the Cannon

Firing the cannon is symbolic of breaking the fast. To see what it's all about, you can get close at the car park at Gate 4 of Safa Park in Jumeirah.

Visit the shopping malls

Most malls run Ramadan special deals. Have a look around, you may find a few Eid gifts at great prices!
