Ajman, Al Ain, Fujairah, RAK, Sharjah, UAQ, restaurants open daytime Ramadan

Information about cafes and restaurants open during the day in Ramadan for the city of Al Ain, and UAE emirates of Ajman, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah (RAK), Sharjah, and Umm Al Quwain (UAQ). See Ramadan restaurants open daytime page for Dubai and Abu Dhabi in 2024.

Different page for Dubai and Abu Dhabi cities because they have a large number of places open during the day during Ramadan, whereas the rest of the UAE is relatively subdued with most outlets closed during the day, or open only for takeaways and deliveries. Al Ain is a city in the emirate of Abu Dhabi but is included on this page.
