Ramadan in Dubai: The Unique Tradition for Iftar

In Dubai, every day during the month of Ramadan, the cannon at the iconic architectural symbol of the emirate, the "Burj Khalifa," is fired to mark the time for iftar. This occurs at sunset and serves as a signal for Muslims to begin breaking their fast after a long day of fasting.

Surrounded by the atmosphere of joy and satisfaction, people smile, raise their hands to the sky, pray, and do this in conjunction with the traditions throughout the entire month of the holy Ramadan.
