[...] Ramadan will be arriving soon and the atmosphere and activities of Saudi Arabia will change. Speaking from the Riyadh perspective, expect the city to take on a new personality at night with more families out and about after the last evening prayers. The city will be aglow with twinkling lights and so many signs in English and Arabic saying “Ramadan Kareem.” Naturally the stores, restaurants and other places of business will have “Ramadan hours.” Restaurants and other eateries will be closed during the fasting hours. They’ll open in time for iftar and stay open for a few hours before closing again only to reopen in time for suhoor (last opportunity to eat before resuming the daily fast). [...]

I actually wish the hours did not change anywhere during Ramadan as to me that is part of what feeling the “pain and suffering” of fasting is all about. Plus it always is a sense of satisfaction and achievement to show what one can get through and do even though fasting.

Yes, you might be right Carol .While in Pakistan hours dont officially change but it is acceptable for people to leave early from work specially government sector.It is a different story if you work at a private company.

Moni,

I’m glad you enjoyed the post. I’m surprised by your comment that hours did not change in Pakistan. I’ve lived in Pakistan at two different times in my life and many businesses and government organizations did indeed have Ramadan hours.

Best Regards,
Carol

Oh ! how lovely to read about Ramadan, my favorite time of year.As growing up in Saudi it was the best time because our school hours were really short. My mother always made sure there was no food wasted. We had iftar parties at our house, enjoyed eid shopping but also really put in prespective the real meaning of Ramadan by praying and fasting and reading Quran.In Pakistan Ramadan is also very festive time. Although there is no change in regular working hours. So you end up doing all your chores,shopping during day which can be little difficult. Keep posting about Ramadan as it will soon start.

Thanks
