What is Ramadan like in Qatar ? 

Ramadan is a holy month observed by Muslims in Qatar and around the world. It is a time of fasting, prayer, and reflection. From dawn until sunset, Muslims refrain from eating, drinking, and other physical needs, focusing instead on spiritual growth and devotion.

In Qatar, Ramadan is a special time marked by a deep sense of community and tradition. Families gather for Iftar, the evening meal that breaks the fast, often starting with dates and water, followed by traditional dishes. Suhoor, the pre-dawn meal, is also an important part of the daily routine.
