Ramadan in the Middle East

To be honest, I would say it as a crucial time which gonna start. 30 days of fasting will be starting from 10th or 11th of August. Generally the fasting starts and ends based on the instructions from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Mecca).

During Ramadan: We will not be allowed to taste even a pinch of water in the public (after sunrise and before sunset), infringing the rule leads to imprisonment or will be deported to the home country. Also during this time the restaurants, food courts will be kept open, but only take away......... we have a tent built in front of every mosques for the public to have their dinner after prayer during the fasting. (The tent is common for all; irrespective of the caste). The dinner will be provided with camel meat, beef, chicken, egg, fruits, dates and Laban (namma ooru moru)
