The UAE capital celebrates the Holy Month with a wealth of suhoor offerings. Here are some of the best.
Suhoor is the pre-dawn meal consumed by Muslims before the daily fast during Ramadan. It holds a significant place in Islamic tradition and practice, serving not only as a source of physical sustenance but also as a spiritual and social occasion. The word “suhoor” translates to “the last part of the night”, and these are the best places to participate in the pastime in the capital.
