Middle East Ramadan Customs

The ninth month of the Islamic calendar every year is the biggest festival for Muslims (from April 1 to 30 of the Gregorian calendar in 2022). Said that, the Saudi Supreme Court announced on the evening of April 1, 2022 that due to seeing the new moon of Ramadan this year, it decided that April 2 of the Gregorian calendar would be the first day of Ramadan. According to Islamic teachings, Ramadan is a great, festive, auspicious and noble month. During Ramadan, Arab countries generally adjust their commute time. Business activities are usually carried out at night. Businesses and shops generally open at 6 or 7 o'clock in the evening and close at 2 or 3 o'clock in the middle of the night. In Dubai, public institutions only need to work 6 hours. In Ramadan shopping malls, business hours will be shortened during the day and extended at night.

Fasting means "fasting". The natives of Arab countries do not eat or drink a drop of water every day after sunrise and before sunset. During this time, the rich will donate in kind to the poor, and it is also a gathering of family and friends. When visiting each other together, they prayed together during the day, did not eat, and forbade all desires. During Ramadan, everyone greets each other with "RAMADAN KAREEM", which translates to "Ramadan auspicious" in Chinese.

On the evening of the 29th day of fasting, if a new moon is seen, the next day is Eid al-Fitr; if not, it will be closed for another day, for a total of 30 days, and the second day is Eid al-Fitr, celebrating the successful completion of a month of fasting. During Eid al-Fitr, which ends Ramadan, there will be various promotions in the mall, because there is a habit of giving gifts to each other among family and friends during Eid al-Fitr.

According to the consumption habits of the past years, there will be a new round of "retaliatory" consumption after breaking the fast.
