Crossing the half way mark

The month of Ramadan is half way through and every evening the city seems to be in high spirits. This is better shown than spoken about. So this week we will do a short photo blog and I will try to get as many photos of all the special Ramadan stuff before it ends. This week we look at Al Ain, lets begin.... A usually busy intersection (left) just off Khalifa Street in Al Ain, just before Iftar around 7.13 pm (the time when the roza opens). The same intersection (right) at 10.30 pm. The area near NMC hospital and Ayla hotel during Iftar. As the sun goes down these lights resembling a lamp are lit up, adorning the streets of Al Ain. The Lantern are significant of the month of Ramadan. Below a sign wishing Ramadan Kareem in Al Ain. We move on to the special arrangements made at Bawadi Mall (Al Ain) for the month of Ramadan
