Re: What usually happens in ramadan???

 Qatar is like any other gulf country during Ramadan... Work timings are reduced to about 6 hours a day,  and during the day, till the sun sets you are not allowed to eat or drink in public,  you will find most of the restaurants closed or only open for delivery. During the evening and nights most of the stores are open pretty late.. and as the weather gets better you will see alot of people about  quite late... You will even find a lot of sales on.. and if you like trying out different food this is a good time to check out some iftar buffets...   have to warn you though that traffic at peak hours, 8 to 9 in the morn, 2 to 3 in the afternoon, and the time of the evening prayer when the fast is broken is pretty bad... and tempers flare quite easily.. so take it easy on the road.

Re: What usually happens in ramadan???

some resturants are open but their working hours get changed. But I would prefer you carry your own lunch. you might need to search for a while to get any restaurants.
