WATCH: The Qatar Living team wishes you Ramadan Kareem

We're a diverse team here at Qatar Living, but we're all coming together this Ramadan to share the best of what Qatar has to offer with the country's thriving and vibrant community - Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

According to Awqaf, Qatar's Ministry of Endowment and Islamic Affairs, tomorrow, Wednesday, May 16th, 2018 is the 30th of Sha'baan 1439 AH, and Thursday, 17th May, 2018 is the first day of the blessed month of Ramadan 1439 AH. 

So Ramadan kareem! It's almost time for the start of the holy month, which brings with it thirty days of fasting and increased spiritual devotion. But it is also the time for a shared spirit of community celebration. 

Remember, Qatar is set to follow different work timings during the entire period of Ramadan. While public sector employees will have to work for five hours a day, those in the private sector will have to work six hour days.

Hospitals in the country will operate on different time schedules during the Holy month.

So have a fantastic Ramadan everyone! What are you looking forward to the most? For more Ramadan topics, you may check out qatarliving.com/ramadan.
