Ramadan 2025 to Begin on March 1 in the UAE

The UAE has officially confirmed that Ramadan 2025 will start on March 1, following the sighting of the crescent moon on February 29. This celestial event marks the end of Sha’ban and the beginning of the holy month.

Ramadan is a time of fasting, reflection, and generosity for Muslims worldwide. Observers fast daily from sunrise to sunset, abstaining from food, drink, and smoking. At sunset, the traditional firing of Ramadan cannons in Dubai announces the time to break the fast, a custom deeply rooted in UAE heritage.

Things to Experience in Dubai During Ramadan

Two essential meals define the fasting routine—Suhoor before dawn and Iftar at sunset. Dubai offers unique opportunities to experience the cultural essence of Ramadan.

For those seeking a traditional experience, a heritage safari Iftar in the desert is a must-try. Breaking the fast in an authentic desert camp under the stars makes for a memorable evening.

Meanwhile, the Ripe Market is bringing a special touch to Ramadan with its exclusive experiences from March 1 to March 23. Families can participate in fun activities such as date-making and canvas painting, embracing the festive spirit of the holy month.

Additionally, businesses implement reduced working hours to support employees observing Ramadan, ensuring a balanced work-life schedule. As the UAE embraces this special time, Dubai remains a vibrant hub for spiritual and cultural experiences. Wishing everyone a blessed and peaceful Ramadan!
