Why not travel to Islamic countries during Ramadan

Ramadan
Are you already planning your vacation summer? Well, you must choose the dates and places carefully if you do not want your trip to be a real disaster. And there are countries where it is better not to go in the middle of the summer season.

For example, it is not entirely advisable to travel to Islamic countries during the Ramadan, which is the ninth month of the Muslim calendar, known internationally for being the month in which Muslims practice daily fasting from dawn until sunset because of their beliefs. Do you want to know what you can find in countries like Dubai, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Jordan, Malaysia, India, Indonesia and a part of Thailand in the period of Ramadan? Coming up next, we tell you!

During Ramadan

Many people do not take it into account when planning their trips, but the truth is that during Ramadan, in Islamic countries many shops They close or only open at noon. On the other hand, keep in mind that eating between sunrise and sunset could be a problem. Also, it is important to know that breakfasts among the local population are usually noisy and at five in the morning, before the sun rises, so you may be woken up.

After Ramadan

It is also important to note that during the Eid al-Fitr, which are the holidays after the fasting month of Ramadan, many Muslims go on vacation; Indonesians from Java and Sumatra withdraw to Bali; Muslims in India travel across the country to visit relatives; Malaysians approach local beaches or Thailand; the wealthy Gulf Arabs escape to any more or less Islamic country… All this means that, after Ramadan, all transport tickets may be sold out or have prices exorbitant; that hotels, especially cheap ones, are full; and that the beaches are overflowing.

Therefore, we advise you to leave your trip to Islamic countries for another epoch of the year.
