As the holy month of Ramadan approaches, residents in the UAE plan to hold in-person Iftars.
Most Covid-19 restrictions have been eased across the Emirates, and individuals have, in fact, resumed pre-pandemic Ramadan behaviour, according to a YouGov survey.
Iftar snacks can also be put up for display outside eateries in Sharjah during the holy month of Ramadan. Restaurants, cafeterias and bakeries need to get a permit from the Sharjah Municipality for displaying the snacks after the Asr prayer.
The practice — which is a common sight across the UAE during the holy month — was banned in Sharjah in 2021 and 2020 as a Covid safety measure
Sharjah Municipality has also announced few guidelines to serve food in eateries during the holy month.
The Civic body has started issuing permits to eateries for serving food and permit holders, including those inside shopping malls, can serve food till the call for the Asr prayer.
