	Hi Selyn, Welcome to DN, the bustling city of Dubai slows down during Ramadan The working hours are slightly altered and all restaurants and coffee shops remain closed from dawn to sunset. Some remain open during the day and offer parcels and few of the restaurants in hotels serve food and beverages during the day also. While non-Muslims are not required to fast, they are obliged by law not to eat; drink and smoke in all public areas such as streets, shopping malls, cars and public offices during the fasting hours. Dubai is generally very tolerant with regards to clothing in public areas and on private beaches. In Ramadan It is advisable to have sensible attire when out in public areas especially during the day. Swim suites are allowed on Private beaches. Advise your friend to keep in mind these few things, wish her a happy stay in Dubai!
