Amusing Ramadan advice
Came across this Ramadan advice on dubaifaqs.. the last bit amusing
"Bars in Dubai are usually still open but patrons will be asked what religion they are and refused entry if they are Muslim. Live and loud music is banned, so is dancing. Bars in Abu Dhabi might be closed. Bars in Ras Al Khaimah usually stay open. Bars in Sharjah don't exist."

Re: Amusing Ramadan advice
Do we know yet when Ramadan starts? Will I get a drink at the airport tomorrow night?

The airport isn't really considered UAE territory, so long as it makes money! Hence, the IV will be open 24 hours as usual in T1.

Thanks AA - we have friends visiting from Kuwait and didn't want to turn up at the Captains to find it closed!
