Traveling During Ramadan:
Low Prices & Rules

Ramadan is the "hidden shoulder season" of UAE travel. Hotels are cheap, flights are empty, promising massive savings for the savvy traveler.

πŸ“‰ The Price Drop Phenomenon

Most Muslim residents stop traveling during the Holy Month to spend time with family. Business travel also slows down.

πŸ’Έ Savings Alert

Tickets to Europe, USA, and UK from Dubai can be 30% cheaper in the first 3 weeks of Ramadan compared to the rest of the year.

🍽️ Rules for Travelers (Eating & Drinking)

On Board: Flights operate as normal. Meals and alcohol are served on Emirates/Etihad.
At The Airport: Food courts at DXB/AUH are fully open. No screens/curtains anymore. You can eat and drink publicly in the terminal.
In The City: Dubai has relaxed rules. Most malls and restaurants serve food during the day. However, eating/drinking/smoking openly on the STREET is still disrespectful and technically fines apply.

πŸŒ™ The "Pre-Iftar" Rush Hour

⚠️ Traffic Warning

Every day around 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM (just before sunset/Iftar), traffic in Dubai becomes chaotic as everyone rushes home to break their fast. If your flight is at 8:00 PM, leave very early.
