And? That doesn’t mean Muslims don’t find Ramadan holy or they don’t care about Islamic values, they do very much care. It’s still very much an Islamic country but there are also non-Muslims living in the UAE, we can’t ignore that. And alcohol is served in specific areas. Also, restaurants stay open longer than usual during Ramadan so the people who were fasting can dine in them after they break their fast. During Ramadan a lot of Muslims like to stay awake longer than usual and some stay awake until fajr prayer and they go to bed when they start their fast and after prayer which is around 4/5 AM.

Not true.

Impose restrictions on tourism during Ramadan? Like what kind of restrictions?
