Here are the top 6 tips for non-Muslims during Ramadan

"Embrace the community spirit and wish a blessed Ramadan to Muslim friends and colleagues. 
 
Introduce yourself to your neighbors, get involved in an Iftar and catch up with friends and family.
 
Ramadan is known as the month of giving. Do the most out of charity and help the ones in need. Small gestures come with big satisfaction.

Visit Suhour tents, try group Iftars, and experience Emirati food. 
 
Even if you don’t fast, invite your Muslim friends over and go over for Iftar at their house, it is a sign of respect and friendliness. 

Don’t forget to take a special Ramadan gift as a kind gesture."
