Well ramadan might start in the middle of October and end mid-novemeber. Usuallay no parties take place during the holly month. Small dinner parties do take place in homes.
I havent heard about the palm parties for new year.

[Ipi Tombe]

I know they are not 'called' parties...that would be very bad.:(

But the scene late at night at Jumeirah Beach Hotel is usually anything but quite & solemn.

One year, Ramadan festivites were supposed to be toned down and they were-considerably. Muslims were getting booted out of bars and the Ramadan tents were considerably more somber than the year before. But that was bad for business.....
