See Family-friendly Iftars in Dubai – Ramadan 2025 for this year’s listing!

Ramadan seems to be starting earlier and earlier, every year, isn’t it? This year, Ramadan will likely fall on the evening of Monday March 11th, subjected to the sighting of the crescent moon.

Coincidentally, the last two weeks of Ramadan will be over the term break for most schools in Dubai this year. This is fabulous for families, as we can bring our kids along to iftars without having to rush them home for an early bed time 🙂

To make it easier for all of us – we have put together a list of iftars in Dubai, which we feel are family-friendly. Where applicable, we have also highlighted the discounts and offers. Most of these will be in and around our end of town, the Dubai Marina and the Palm Jumeirah.

Enjoy the holy month of Ramadan in Dubai with family and friends.
