Charitable Giving
Ramadan is a time when charitable activities increase, with many focusing on kindness and generosity. Authorities advise residents to donate only through licensed platforms to avoid unverified campaigns.
Fundraising without proper authorization is illegal and can result in hefty fines ranging from AED 150,000 to AED 300,000.
Parking Regulations
Motorists are reminded to avoid random parking near mosques, especially during Taraweeh prayers. Violations can lead to fines of AED 500, and authorities will increase patrols to manage traffic around prayer areas.
Anti-Begging Measures
Authorities will intensify efforts to combat begging during Ramadan. Penalties for begging can start at AED 5,000, with harsher consequences for organized begging activities.

Etiquette Reminders
Respecting the sentiments of those observing Ramadan is crucial. Residents are encouraged to avoid aggressive behavior, refrain from public displays of entertainment, and dress appropriately. Additionally, it’s considerate to accept invitations for Iftar meals.
