Ramadan is moving earlier and earlier each year, and this year – it will likely fall on Wednesday 18th of February 2026, subjected to the sighting of the crescent moon. It’s crazy isn’t it – as we just finished the winter holidays and Term 1 has literally just started!

The good thing though – it will be much easier to fast as the days are shorter plus a lot of the iftar feasts in restaurants can be held outdoors – which means more space for the little ones to explore. The last week of Ramadan also falls during the term break for most schools in Dubai, which means families can actually bring the kids along to iftars without having to rush them home for an early bed time.

Are you looking for a family-friendly iftar venue in Dubai? Here’s our list, to include relevant discounts and early bird specials. Have a blessed month of Ramadan in Dubai with family and friends.
