Restaurants in Dubai will not be required to screen visible dining areas during fasting hours in the Holy Month of Ramadan this year.
According to circular issued by Dubai’s Department of Economic Development on Sunday restaurants will be allowed to serve customers without putting in place curtains, dividers or facades as has been the mandatory practice previously.
Restaurants are also not required to obtain a permit for serving food to customers during Ramadan fasting hours.
The new circular replaces circulars issued in previous years that have required restaurants to block dining areas from the sight of those who are fasting.
