Ramadan dates? Sep 02, 2007
Dear Members,

I have a question regarding what dates the holy month of Ramadan takes place? I have understood that it should start sometime in September. Can someone please give me more information regarding this?

How can it be announced a week before?? We only know when we see the moon (a night before), it might have been an expectation..

No, because everyone just organises crazy villa/apartment parties instead.

Seriously though, it does become quieter, but stay off the roads around 3 / 4 pm!

The good news is: Sep 08, 2007
Shorter hours for all pvt sector staff in Ramadan

The working hours during the holy month of Ramadan will be shorter by two hours for all private sector employees regardless of their religion or nationality, a senior official of the Ministry of Labour (MoL) has said.
Any company found violating this directive will be penalised as per the Labour Law, said Humeid bin Demas, assistant under-secretary of the MoL. A Dh10,000 penalty would be slapped on the violating companies, besides a three-month ban.
The official warned: "If any company is found discriminating between its staff with regard to the shortened working hours on the basis of religion, it will be penalised.”
