Residents and local authorities set up Iftar and Suhoor tents around the country offering food and beverages to fasting residents.
Volunteering activities also pick up during Ramadan as the young and the old take to the roads to serve Iftar to those on the go. Both private and public establishments launch their own initiative, such as Ajman's Ramadan Aman.
Recently, a video of Ramadan Aman garnered a lot of attention as young members of the Ajman royal family signed up as volunteers to serve Iftar to fasting motorists, including His Highness Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ajman.
In the clip, he can be seen having Iftar with them as he applauds them for their volunteering services during the holy month:

In another instance, a Dubai royal, Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, son of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and Dubai Ruler, was also spotted collecting Iftar boxes from volunteers on the street.
The newly wed - earlier this week - can be seen stuck in traffic as he interacts with a volunteer about their initiative.
The clip ends with Sheikh Mohammed passing by in his 4WD around Iftar time.
