There is something quietly magical about Dubai after midnight in Ramadan. The city softens. The streets fill. And somewhere between the oud music and the steam rising off a plate of mixed grill, time slows down in the best possible way. Sohour, that pre-dawn meal that sustains you through the fast ahead, has become one of the holy month’s great social occasions in this city. Whether you’re fasting or not, showing up for it is non-negotiable. Here’s where to go.
