During Ramadan, iftar is the meal that breaks the fast after sunset each day – and there are hundreds to choose from across the city.
While many offer traditional Middle Eastern buffets, others feature contemporary set menus.
The Ramadan 2021 dates are expected to start on Monday April 12 and run through until Tuesday May 11, depending on the sighting of the moon.
The fast is usually broken with dates and a small drink of water, juice or Arabic coffee. Prayers are then undertaken and iftar is served – usually starting with soup, followed by rice, salads, grilled meats and more.
We’ve rounded up all the iftars in Dubai in 2021, by area below.
