As the sun sets and a long day of fasting breaks, families and friends come together to enjoy an Iftar, and even if you’re not fasting it is a great way to get into the spirit of the Holy Month.
When it comes to food, it doesn’t get better than Dubai. From healthy alternatives as well as traditional buffets, we have gathered together a few new places to tick off your list along with some firm favourites.
