It is the perfect opportunity to highlight the UAE’s annual initiative: UAE Reading Month, held every March under the slogan UAE Reads.

As part of this, alongside our Reading in Ramadan program, we are introducing fun ways to celebrate, including DEAR (Drop Everything And Read) time and a Reading Checklist.

With plenty of book choices—whether to inspire, educate, or entertain—dedicating time to reading enriches both the mind and soul.

I'm also excited to share some beautiful books we received from our book fair commission! Due to limited copies, they will be available on a first-come, first-served basis—so what are you waiting for? Hurry and check the attached PDF for full details on our initiatives and scan the QR code for our suggested reading list.

Ramadan isn’t just about fasting—it’s also a time to nourish the mind and soul! Whether you enjoy inspiring stories, self-reflection books, or simply reading for pleasure, this month is a perfect opportunity to build a meaningful reading habit.

Reading for pleasure, no pressure, coz if you’re in the mood for something different, check out the Ramadan Delights from the February Magazine Issue of Khaleej Times—a Ramadan Cookbook filled with delicious recipes to make your iftar even more special! Because, after all, breaking the fast is even better when the meal is made with love for your family’s happy tummy.
