Ramadan is a special time to be in Dubai: quieter days, evenings full of iftar gatherings, and Eid celebrations at the end of the month. If you are visiting family, spending the holy month in Dubai or coming for Eid, a hotel apartment gives you a kitchen for suhoor and iftar on your own schedule and space for everyone to gather.
Expected dates for 2027

| First day of Ramadan | On or around Monday 8 February 2027 |

Why a hotel apartment suits Ramadan
- Your own kitchen: prepare suhoor before dawn and iftar at sunset, the way your family likes it, without depending on restaurant hours.
- Room to host: a living and dining area to break the fast together. A three-bedroom apartment sleeps up to 8 and a four-bedroom up to 10.
- Hotel services when you want them: Gul Cafe & Restaurant and room service are in the building, and reception is open 24 hours for late nights.
- Stay the whole month: washer-dryers and kitchens make a long stay easy. See weekly and monthly stays.
Eid with the family
Eid is when many families travel to see relatives in Dubai. Book early: dates around Eid fill quickly. Our family apartments give children their own rooms, there is a kids play area in the building, and parking is free and covered for when relatives visit.
Tips for visitors during Ramadan
- Be considerate during fasting hours, especially in public places.
- Dress modestly in malls and public areas.
- Expect shorter working hours in many offices and different opening hours in some shops and restaurants.
- Roads are often busiest in the hour before iftar.
- Evenings come alive: many malls stay open late.
