Visiting Dubai - Do's and Dont's during Ramadan 2008

Ramadan Do’s and Don’ts: The local authorities become especially sensitive to social faux pas throughout Ramadan. Below are a few guidelines to keep you from offending anyone:

  1. Don’t eat or drink in public before sunset. This includes consuming anything in your car / taxi and eating chewing gum.
  2. Don’t smoke in public.
  3. Don’t wear revealing clothes throughout Ramadan.
  4. Don’t buy alcohol for a Muslim. While this rule applies all year round, penalties for breaking this rule are higher during Ramadan.
  5. When at “iftar” (breaking the fast after sunset), don’t begin eating before anyone else. The communal prayer will signify the beginning of “iftar”.
  6. Don’t try to coerce a Muslim into breaking his or her fast.
  7. Don’t show public displays of affection.
  8. Don’t raise the volume on your stereo or TV during prayer times.
  9. Don’t swear in public.
  10. Don’t stare or point at Emirati women. This is a general rule, but again,locals are especially sensitive to prying eyes during Ramadan.

Dubai media take to the seas with the Westin last Saturday. The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina proved its team building activities most definitely ‘float the boat’ with invited media guests. Participants experienced first hand what The Westin offers to corporate and leisure groups aboard its Archambault 35 racing vessel. The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Marina acquired its brand new Archambault 35 in February in order to offer corporate groups the chance to take to the open sea and discover the adrenalin-rush of riding the waves at top speed aboard the stylish 35ft, 21 horsepower vessel. Group options include organising sailing regattas, whereby groups can race against each other in heats, while their colleagues compete on the Le Meridien Mina Seyahi’s Archambault 35. Teams get to experience every aspect of crew and helmsmanship, helping colleagues to bond and learn to work together, as they battle it out for supremacy of the seas.
