Ramadan gives off a special sense of bliss, so enjoy that with an outdoor picnic.
Here are a few places where you can enjoy an outdoor iftar or suhoor in Ramadan:
Next to the King’s Fountain
The walkway and open-air sculptures complement the perfect Ramadan vibe. Have a picnic near the fountain and then tread the walkway to the nearest ice-cream stall. The recitation of the Qur’an at the Golden Dome mosque during the night prayers is one of the most dulcet tones we’ve ever heard.
