Thank you guys for all your comments.  My first time to live and work in the Middle East and most of my work colleagues are Muslims.  I would like to honor and respect other's religion and culture.

Here are a few tips to follow during Ramadan: 

Eating and drinking in public is banned during Ramadan, and strict penalties are levied on those who break the rule. Most eateries are closed during the day for the month, but some restaurants do offer delivery services.  

Avoid eating or drinking in front of colleagues who are fasting in office.  

Do not get into arguments with those who are fasting; be patient and show consideration for the long hours of fasting.  

Dress and behave modestly, avoiding animated behaviour that could cause offence.  

Try to understand Ramadan better by involving yourself in the spirit of the month. Saying 'Ramadan Kareem' to Muslims and attending a fast-breaking feast, or iftar, would be appreciated by most Muslims.  

Do not play live music as it is banned through the month
