Morocco

Discover the lively streets of Morocco during Ramadan, where daytime tranquility transforms into nighttime vibrancy. Explore bustling street markets, witness the taraweeh prayers (night prayers) even if you are not Muslim, you will be surprised to see everyone praying in the streets, and experience the warmth of Moroccan hospitality in iconic locations like Jemaa el-Fna square in Marrakesh.

You will find food to eat all night anywhere in the country. You will have to try out the harira, which is the traditional soup eaten to break the fast.

Kuwait

To be honest, this is such an underrated destination. People tend to believe there is nothing to do there or to see. During the day, most of the places are definitely closed, restaurants are not open. However, you have to live the warmth of Kuwaiti hospitality during Ramadan, where locals welcome tourists with open arms.

After sunset, explore bustling Mubarakia Souq, visit iconic places like Al Shaheed Park, and if the weather allows it, why not embark on memorable sea trips for a unique Ramadan experience.
