Ramadan is the holiest month in the Islamic calendar, observed by Muslims worldwide with fasting from dawn until sunset. During this period, Muslims also observe spiritual reflection, prayer, and charity. Ramadan is a significant event in Qatar, where the majority of the population is Muslim. As a result, visitors to the country must understand and respect the religious and cultural customs observed during this month.
One of the most crucial customs during Ramadan is fasting, which means abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs from dawn until sunset. Eating in public during the daytime hours of Ramadan is strictly prohibited, and it is punishable by law in Qatar. This law applies to both Muslims and non-Muslims.
