Q:When is Ramadan 2026 in the UAE?
Ramadan 2026 is expected to commence on or around February 17th, 2026. The exact date is subject to the moon sighting, but it is crucial to begin planning your setup well in advance.
Q:How early should I book my Ramadan tent or Majlis?
Immediately. With Ramadan starting in mid-February 2026, the peak booking season is already underway. Early booking ensures you secure your preferred dates, designs, and the best possible pricing.
Q:What is the difference between an Iftar tent, a Suhoor tent, and a general Ramadan Majlis?
Iftar Tents focus on efficient flow for buffet service and large seating capacity. Suhoor Tents are more relaxed, intimate, and lounge-like with softer lighting. A general Majlis is a versatile space balancing comfort with elegance for hosting throughout the Holy Month.
Q:What permits do I need to set up a Ramadan tent in Dubai?
Most common approvals are required from Dubai Civil Defense (fire/safety) and Dubai Municipality (hygiene/food). Our experienced team handles all permitting on your behalf.
Q:Do I still need powerful air conditioning in February?
Yes. While February is cooler, humidity and guest occupancy levels can cause temperatures to rise quickly. Our precise AC tonnage calculations ensure a consistently crisp environment.
Q:Can you create a completely custom-designed Majlis?
Customization is our hallmark. Our in-house design team can create a bespoke concept exclusively for you, matching your specific vision or brand guidelines.
