A Unified Celebration

The #RamadanInDubai campaign is a pioneering initiative launched under the directives of H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Second Deputy Ruler of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Media Council. For the first time, it brings together public and private sectors in a unified celebration of Ramadan. Overseen by Brand Dubai, the creative arm of the Government of Dubai Media Office (GDMO), the campaign aims to showcase the unique spirit, beauty, and warmth of Ramadan while sharing the rich cultural heritage integral to this sacred month.

This initiative not only aims to create a unique ambiance across Dubai but also reflects authentic Emirati customs and traditions that make Ramadan truly special. As such, #RamadanInDubai serves as a vibrant testament to the city's commitment to cultural celebration and community engagement.
