It is Ramadan



Ramadan Kareem! (I have yet to learn what Kareem means. Plan to find out today)

It is Ramadan, and Muslims fast from food and drink from sunrise to sunset. As there are so many foreigners in Dubai, some food outlets cater to their needs but special arrangements must be made. As a result, no open eating but behind curtains.

I observed that pregnant women are exempted from fasting. I saw a woman's husband buying a hot chocolate drink for his pregnant wife yesterday.
