Holiday Events at Marriott Resort Palm Jumeirah

Ramadan is the Holy Month observed by Muslims through fasting, reflection, and community. 

In Dubai, it is marked by Iftar and Suhoor gatherings, cultural events, extended evening hours, and a more reflective pace during the day. Visitors are welcome to experience Ramadan respectfully while enjoying special dining experiences, shopping hours, and citywide celebrations after sunset.

Iftar is the evening meal that breaks the fast at sunset during Ramadan. In Dubai hotels, Iftar is typically offered as a curated dining experience, often featuring traditional Middle Eastern dishes alongside international cuisine. Many venues provide open-air seating, shared tables, and private Majlis options, making Iftar a social and cultural highlight of the Holy Month.

Suhoor is the late-night or pre-dawn meal before fasting resumes. In Dubai, Suhoor is often a relaxed social experience rather than just a meal. Hotels and waterfront venues offer à la carte dining, shisha, and live ambiance late into the night, making Suhoor popular with both fasting guests and visitors seeking late-night dining during Ramadan.

Visitors are encouraged to dress modestly in public spaces and be mindful of fasting hours. Eating and drinking in public during daylight may be restricted in certain areas, while hotel venues provide designated dining spaces.
