Then we invite you to discover more about the life and religion of the Emirates while visiting the famous Jumeirah Mosque, an architectural landmark of Dubai. It's a beautiful experience, informative yet spiritual.

Continue your journey and visit the Heritage Village, and explore the traditional and cultural side of Dubai's Bastakya area where until today you can find the old wind tower houses and the markets (Souks). Dubai is a city that provides a new setting at every turn, richly mixing together the old and the new, a city of ages that rises out of the desert and crowns the gulf coast with its presence.

Entice your senses on a walk through the spice market, get blinded by the sparkle of the Gold Souq. We cross the Creek by Abra, the traditional water taxi and visit the old Fahidi Fort, which is today the Dubai Museum, providing us with a great insight of the City's history.

In the afternoon you will have some time for a rest and meditate, before getting ready for Iftar, the traditional meal after sunset, followed by the late evening atmosphere in a Ramadan tent.

Day 3 - Abu Dhabi Sheik Zayed Mosque & Cultural Awareness Session by a UAE National
For guests fasting early morning Suhoor or normal breakfast in the hotel. We will then drive to the capital of the UAE, Abu Dhabi and visit the magnificent Sheikh Zayed Mosque, an architectural landmark and extremely spiritual place. On a guided tour you will discover all the treasures of the mosque. Then you continue on a short tour of Abu Dhabi, where you will visit Union Square, the Corniche (photo stop) and the Heritage Village. If time allow we will visit the famous Emirates Palace for a photo stop or for a little exploration.

In the afternoon you will be experiencing a Cultural Awareness Session, hosted by a famous Emirati National from Abu Dhabi, who has chosen to live his life differently than most, he's an author, cultural consultant, professional speaker and TV show host. The session will entail an interactive presentation or discussion, providing an insight on the history and background of the United Arab Emirates. You will get to understand the social codes of the Arabian Gulf while building bridges between cultures. Learn more about Ramadan, why it is important, why Muslims fast, what are the benefits of fasting.

We will then share an Iftar in Abu Dhabi and enjoy the atmosphere here of a Ramadan tent. Later on in the evening transfer back to Dubai.

Day 4 - Sharjah visit & Ajman Charity Center
Early morning Suhoor or normal breakfast in the hotel. Today you will be visiting Sharjah, an exciting, lively city with colourful souks filled with interesting artefacts on every corner. The combination of restored houses in traditional style with walls of sea coral and the bright colours of the material souks gives the city a magical feeling. We will pass by the Sharjah Creek Mosque for a photo stop, the Al Arsa Souk and the beautiful Central Souk (Blue Souk).

Later on in the day we will be on our way to Ajman spending time at the Al Eshan Medical and Charity Centre one of the highlights of our trip. Giving, helping and doing charity is a vital part of Ramadan in the community. This afternoon you will have the opportunity to learn more about that aspect of Ramadan and will be participating in the food distribution program.

Ajman doesn’t have natural resources of its own, and there are many families that cannot afford medical care. In addition to these services, Al Eshan grants credit to single mothers, who have been widowed or abandoned by their husbands. You will get the opportunity to provide food to underprivileged people. A simple Iftar will be enjoyed in the Charity Centre with hundreds of people.

Following Iftar you will return back to Dubai with so many new impressions and experiences.

HH will share the spiritual meaning of Ramadan with his guests throughout the evening, show you around his home and tell you about his family.

This is also a unique opportunity to taste traditional home cooked dishes of this region and discover the legendary Arabic hospitality. You will leave with an immense sense of satisfaction having made new friends among the Emirati community and understanding truly better their beautiful culture.
