Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar which is based on the moon’s journey through the skies. As you may know, Muslims spend 30 days communing with their family and friends.
It was a very different world for Ramadan 2020. Covid-19 took away our liberty, mosques were closed, and prayers were offered from home with immediate family only. Let’s hope the world is a better and healthier place in 2021. Ramadan dates (depending on sighting of the moon) for 2021: 12th April – 11th May.
Ramadan Dubai is an initiative by the Islamic Affairs & Charitable Activities Department to involve and inspire all societies, nationalities and religions. Interactive programs, exhibitions and workshops are organised throughout the 30 days and everyone is welcome.
We are always delighted to give our support to Ramadan Dubai.
There are so many different areas in Dubai.
Area names can change frequently – this is a view to TECOM, recently re-named Barsha Heights.
Learn about Dubai’s many different areas at the Dubai Survival Guide.
We’re here to help
Do you have a question about your Tenancy Contract, (now known as the Unified Ejari Tenancy Contract)? This is a legal document; learn how to be knowledgeable about aspects which may cause issues during your tenancy or when you are leaving the property.
Dubai is making a massive effort to put everything online which helps tremendously when you can’t get about the city or stand in long queues. We’ll help you source the right website to help you.
What about work? We’re talking to some recruitment companies to help understand the best way forward in your search for work or any problems you may have.
It’s good to hear of others’ experience when setting up a business (or thinking of setting one up!) We’re talking to some of the people here who have set up Micro and Small enterprises. It’ll help with your decision making to hear their viewpoints and the pitfalls you should avoid.
