Ramadan Kareem

Today is the first day of Ramadan, and most people in Dubai are fasting. Fortunately, during the month of Ramadan the office hours will be reduced to 6 hours a day, usually between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Eating, drinking and smoking in public during the day is strictly prohibited and will guarantee you a jail time during Ramadan, if caught by the police. Most restaurants in Dubai Media City (where our office is) will be open and will use thick curtains to cover the windows. I see this month as a good opportunity to quit smoking.
