This Dubai summer festival makes a valuable effort to ease the summer heat by offering all kinds of fun, games, music, art, food, prizes and sales throughout Dubai. The event is sponsored by a number of hotels, which offer a variety of discounted packages for visitors. One of the most popular areas of the festival is the Modhesh Fun City, located at the Dubai International Airport Expo. The official slogan for the event is "Big Fun For Little Ones". 

Ramadan is the month during which Muslims fast from dawn to dusk, and feast from dusk until dawn. Many restaurants close and it is illegal for Muslims and non-Muslims to eat, drink or smoke in public. Alcohol is not served publicly at any time during Ramadan, except in Dubai. Shopping centres are open late into the night and the streets are crowded with people. A word of caution: try to avoid road travel just before dusk, as many Muslims hurry home to break their fast, accidents are quite common.
