What's your plan this Ramadan ?

Unlike rest of the world, We enjoy it a lot here Dave

The office timing shrinks to 6 hours (10am-4pm usually). The markets remain open till Fajr prayers and we keep awake all night long. The sleep time gets upset. We have to chop it down to parts.

For smokers and coffee addict Muslims, the day time gets really tough . So, we resort to to put the crave off

Back in Thailand, to my family and home. Getting my sanity back

@ ghanshyampdave stock your food, Shops are generally open in evening.

It would be nice to know if any family members are staying here - seems like i'm the only one Looks like I might be saying goodbye to Saudi for a while seeing as I hardly even see my husband through Ramadan I will be pulling my hair out just to keep myself occupied

Month of Ramadan passes with comfort, only 6 hours duty and last week total holidays.I noticed here that most of people continue eating all night during ramadan.

I agree that living here without family is not very pleasant.

Being single, its even more difficult.

The roads are quiet until dark!!

I can enjoy the eating-all-night part

Hi Folks!
In short Ramadan is a blessed month and being in KSA you can feel it to the fullest... Especially the short working hours..
Regards!

Oh ya. Thanks for reminding me to process the multiple.

But my Company gives only 4 days, need to re-check though.

May we all have that Ramadan in this year .
