As the UAE starts slowing down this weekend in anticipation of the start of the Holy Month of Ramadan, for many it is a time to prepare for the month to come. Here are a few ways to do just that, and perhaps squeeze in a few World Cup matches too…
REFLECTIONS ON RAMADAN
Bloomingdale’s at Dubai Mall has teamed up with 15 talented students from the Dubai Women’s College to present ‘Reflections on Ramadan’, a window design concept and campaign. Mentored by the Al Tayer Group Creative Services team, the students from the Applied Communications program have creatively interpreted what the Holy Month means to them as young Emiratis. Expect emotive colour and innovative artistic expression from this group of young creatives-in-training. The windows will be unveiled today, June 26, and will remain on display through Eid al-Fitr.

‘RAK’ UP THE GOALS
As we head towards the Quarter Finals of the FIFA World Cup, the games (with the exception of a few) have been a thrill-a-minute, rollercoaster ride of excitement. Now that you have your eye on a few key teams, why not take your stylish support to the next level, gather a group of friends and head off to the Waldorf Astoria in Ras Al Khaimah. The hotel is offering private screening rooms at the 17 Squared bar, and a complimentary massage if you stay two or more nights.
