Default Ramadan

Ramadan Moubarak everyone,

The ninth month of the Islamic calendar is here and thus Muslims and some partners of Muslims fast for the month.

This means no eating or drinking or bonking or swearing from sunrise to sunset. This is called sawm which means to refrain so refain from the bad things and be a nicer person to yourself and everyone else. This is also a holy month so make sure to stick to your prayers and learn more about you faith.

For people visiting Tunisia during this time bear this in mind as you sup a lovely cool clear thirst quenching bottle of water in front Tunisians. Its not so much insulting but more like torture!

There is also many special prayers and events during ramadan a good place to find out more is here
