Ramadan majlises are among the most prominent social practices in the UAE. Their roots lie in the traditional majlis, which formed a centre of everyday life in Bedouin and rural environments. They were held in large homes or under the shade of date palms and were places where decisions were made and values of generosity and social solidarity were practised. During Ramadan, these majlises acquire a distinctive cultural and spiritual character, becoming spaces where relatives and neighbours gather to converse, hold discussions and offer hospitality, alongside religious activities such as Qur’an recitation and religious lessons. They are distinguished by a warm social atmosphere that strengthens community cohesion, while authentic customs are practised through tangible elements such as the san', etiquette, of serving Arabic coffee, dates, and majlis spaces furnished with carpets and traditional cushions. This makes them a living symbol of Emirati identity and its continuity over time.
