The UAE’s iftar timings for April have been revealed, with the Eid Al Fitr celebration expected to fall on either April 20 or 21, depending on the sighting of the moon. Traditional foods, such as dates, are typically consumed during the iftar meal, which holds significant cultural and spiritual importance for Muslims worldwide.
