"Fasting...is not about a diet of burning calories. It's about burning ego, pride and sins."

Curiosity

The official spoken language in Burkina Faso is French, but some speak the “More Language”.

Hot Ramadan

Unfortunately hundreds of people died this year during the beginning of Ramadan because of the high temperature. 

May God bless them.

Jordan’s tour in Ramadan

Touring

Are tourist sites open during Ramadan

All of the tourist sites in Jordan are open during Ramadan.

Any advice on what to do whilst visiting the sites?

We would recommend guests to wear t-shirts or shirts that cover the arms up to the elbow and ideally light pants that extend to the ankles. Whilst Jordan is a liberal country and wearing shorter clothes is perfectly fine, locals working at the sites will appreciate the display of sensitivity from travelers if they are adequately clothed.

Can I eat in public?

We advise guests not to eat and drink water in public places during Ramadan as a sign of respect  towards people who are fasting. It is perfectly fine to eat/drink in hotels and tourist sites and restaurants.

Can I eat/drink in touristic sites? What about restaurants near tourist sites?

Yes. Restaurants operating at tourist sites and around Amman will be open during Ramadan. The tourist sites such as Petra et al., will also have vendors selling food and drinks to visitors.

Do tourist sites opening times change during Ramadan?

The opening hours for tourist sites are as follows:

Visitor centers and ticket offices: 9 AM to 4 PM, but visitors can remain inside the sites until 5 PM

Museums: 9 AM to 5 PM

Do shops opening times change during Ramadan?

Shops located inside hotels will be open as usual. Many supermarkets and malls will operate on regular hours, but will close between the hours of 5 PM and 8 PM and then open from 8 PM onwards.
