Key landmarks in the UAE lit up in the colours of the Jordanian flag in support of the deeply rooted relations between the emirates and Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
The UAE’s moon-sighting committee will be meeting virtually on Monday, April 12 after maghrib prayer to indicate the start of the holy month of Ramadan.
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UNITED NATIONS WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME
As part of our ongoing commitment to social responsibility and our vision of nurturing health and wellbeing “For the Good of Tomorrow”, we formed a year-long strategic partnership with the United Nations World Food Programme (UNWFP) in 2021 to support food security and nutrition for school children across the region.
Providing children with school meals gives them vital nutrition and encourages parents to prioritize education over home-based work or early marriages, allowing children to increase their education and reach their potential. Building human capital prepares workforces for the skilled jobs of the future, which can drive growth and transform economies.
Restaurants in Dubai are not required to block visible dining areas during the month of Ramadan.
The Department of Economic Development (Dubai Economy) has issued a circular stating that the outlets can serve customers without putting in place curtains or dividers as has been the practice previously.
It has also confirmed that restaurants are not required to obtain a permit for serving food to customers during fasting hours.
The latest directive will come into effect from the first day of the holy month.
