Best Places to Visit during Ramadan in Singapore

 

Ramadan is celebrated during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. During this Islamic holy month, all capable Muslims avoid smoking, eating, drinking and other such inhibitory activities against mankind from dawn until dusk. People often meet in large groups at nightfall to break the fast and enjoy the occasion.

 

Ramadan is celebrated extravagantly in Singapore, so it would be one of the most exciting times to visit this city. You should definitely take advantage of the timing and enjoy some of the festivity happenings to get a flavor of the Malay culture, while you are in Singapore. It is also the Chinese New Year during this period and the markets are going to be flooded with fresh arrivals, offers and discounts. Backpackers are welcomed at gatherings and feasts in the evenings.

 

So it’s just the right time to plan your trip with travel coupons and get great discounts during Ramadan 2018 in Singapore.

 

Places to Travel

 

If you want to explore the Islamic heritages such as mosques, then it can be quite off limits due to the heavy crowd out there, especially when these people gather for prayers during afternoons and evenings. But as usual, general tourist attractions and businesses will remain open.

 

The Muslim quarter of Singapore, namely the Arab Street and the Kampong Glam area, is bustling with hundreds of activities during Ramadan. A stop over at the Arab Street starts at the Sultan Mosque. The visiting hours typically end at four in the evening. The mosque hosts Iftar (breaking of the fast) in the evening and special Night prayers during Ramadan. The non-Muslim community is also warmly welcomed for Iftar, so if you are interested, you can inquire with the mosque authority and dress appropriately.

 

Gastronomic Offerings

 

In the east of the island, Geylang Serai glitters with colorful street lights and the bazaars (larger than the Arab Street) spring up throughout the street. You can expect a bustling, vibrant vibe with plenty of traditional local snacks. Many shops here open late in the night, and some even for 24 hours, all adding to the festive atmosphere.

 

 

Food Stalls are also set up near the Sultan Mosque along the Bussorah Street, which feature a wide range of foods for the Iftar. You can even explore the mini market along Kampong Glam.

 

Accommodation is rarely affected during Ramadan, so you don’t have to plan before than usual. Still to be on a safer side you can search for the best hotels near one of the happening localities.

 

 

 

 

Hotels and restaurants may organize special Ramadan meals. We suggest planning a bit ahead with Fave coupon codes for dinner as most people choose to go out to eat and socialize during Ramadan. Ramly burger is a must try. It is a simple concoction of egg and meat patty, with a hint of chili sauce, which makes it a perfect meal to end up the day with.

To your mom, ‘you’ are priceless and there have been times when she had to compromise her health and beauty to take care of you and your family. It’s mother’s day and this is the perfect time to plan a secret surprise for her by planning out a whole day of relaxation and beauty retreat:

Planning for a Luxurious Spa and Massage Session

A full body massage or a spa treatment is something that your mom secretly craves for!
