Ramadan is a special time in Dubai—a season of reflection, tradition, and hospitality. If you’re visiting during this holy month, a desert safari during Ramadan is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. With peaceful surroundings, thrilling activities, and cultural highlights, it’s an adventure that blends excitement and authenticity in the heart of the golden dunes.
What Is Ramadan?
Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, is a time of fasting, prayer, and community. From sunrise to sunset, Muslims refrain from eating and drinking, breaking their fast with an Iftar meal after the evening prayer. Experiencing the desert during this sacred month gives visitors a unique opportunity to witness the customs and traditions that make Ramadan special.
