Ramadan's Journal #4


Many travel guides advise against travelling during Ramadan. Lonely Planet Guide explains: "During the Muslim month of fasting, many Cafés and restaurants are closed during daylight hours, while sights and offices are open for reduced and erratic hours". That is absolutely right to those backpacking or going for the first time to a place they have never been. For those who live in the countries where the majority is fasting, it's a good option to...



...be on the road. Since people should dedicate themselves to prayer, it isn't a time to go on holidays, and, therefore, the pricesor accomodation become very accecible. ;-)



If you have an all inclusive packet, the new moon will be the only remanbrance that Ramadan has started.

The Sufi Dance will be out of place. It's incredible how much mastery the dancer has, but at this time of the year, it's a mere turistic thing. (Why? Read about Sufi Dance HERE or wait until I write someday about Sufism).

Well, for us who aren't taking part, let's enjoy and dance:


Folk Dance - People of the Desert


Folk Dance - Sea people;


Folk Dance - Whatever.
