Ramadan is more than a month of fasting; it is a time rooted in togetherness, generosity, and reflection. It brings families closer through shared meals, evening gatherings, mosque visits, and moments spent watching Ramadan programs together. More than anything, it is a month that celebrates connection — sharing food, sharing time, and sharing the quiet joy found in togetherness, even after long fasting hours.
The spirit of Ramadan is felt not only within households but across communities. From family and friends to neighbours you may not see often during the year, Ramadan encourages warmth, kindness, and a sense of belonging that transcends backgrounds and cultures.
Even without knowing the exact translation, most people understand that “Ramadan Kareem” is a warm and positive expression. It conveys wishes of generosity, blessings, and spiritual reward, reflecting the values of the Holy Month.

Ramadan is a month defined by sharing — both in the food we prepare and the moments we create. Many families express care and hospitality by cooking for one another and exchanging home-prepared dishes.
Across the region, traditions come alive as families prepare for Eid together. Popular desserts such as Ma’amoul, filled with dates, pistachios, or walnuts, are often made as a group. From preparing the dough to shaping it in wooden moulds and baking, these moments become cherished memories, centered around generosity and togetherness.
With most activities taking place after breaking the fast, Ramadan evenings are often lively and meaningful. From prayers and family dinners to Suhoor gatherings, people embrace the unique rhythm of the Holy Month, even if it means fewer hours of sleep.
Children also experience Ramadan in a special way, especially during the middle of the month with Girgian night. This Gulf tradition sees children dress in traditional attire, walk around their neighbourhoods, sing festive songs, and collect treats and small gifts. It is a celebration they eagerly look forward to each year.
The final days of Ramadan offer a chance to reflect, reconnect, and share heartfelt greetings with loved ones. It is also a time to take care of your wellbeing — by eating well, staying active, and keeping hydrated.
