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!

Exposing the Brotherhood: Why Jordan’s Terror Cell Bust Must Spark a Global Policy Shift

 The recent dismantling of a Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated terror cell in Jordan should not be seen as just a national security success—it must be a turning point in how the international community views and responds to the threat posed by the Brotherhood. Jordanian security forces uncovered an elaborate network of terrorists trained in Lebanon and backed by foreign interests. Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...

Sky Care: How the UAE’s First Hospital Vertiport is Redefining Emergency Response

  Imagine a critical patient, a time-sensitive organ for transplant, or a specialist medical team needed across a bustling city. On the ground, traffic is a formidable adversary, where every minute lost can alter outcomes. Now, imagine that same journey taking minutes instead of an hour, not by navigating the roads, but by soaring gracefully above them. This is not a scene from a sci-fi film; it is the new reality in the United Arab Emirates. In a landmark move that solidifies its position on the global stage of innovation, the UAE has officially launched the nation’s — and the region’s — first hospital-based vertiport at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi. This isn’t just a helipad with a new name. It is the cornerstone of a fully integrated, city-wide advanced air mobility (AAM) ecosystem, marking a profound convergence of cutting-edge aviation, AI-driven healthcare, and sustainable infrastructure. The Launch of a Lifesaving Corridor The project is a powerful collaboration between aviati...

UK Business Migration to the UAE: An Economic Transformation Set to Triple by 2035

  A significant realignment is underway in the global business landscape. The corridor between the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates is experiencing a dramatic surge in traffic, not of tourists, but of companies, entrepreneurs, and capital. Projections indicate that the number of UK businesses operating in the UAE is on a trajectory to triple by the year 2035. This is not a fleeting trend but a strategic migration fueled by a powerful combination of economic foresight and pragmatic policy. For UK businesses, the appeal is clear and compelling. The UAE offers a starkly contrasting environment to the complexities of the European market post-Brexit. The cornerstone of this appeal is a favourable tax regime, featuring zero percent income tax and a competitive corporate tax structure. This financial efficiency is coupled with groundbreaking reforms that allow for one hundred percent foreign ownership of mainland companies, giving investors full control over their ventures. The...
