Overview

The holy month of fasting — the single biggest cultural and commercial season in the region. Daily routines flip: quiet days, vibrant nights, family gatherings at iftar and suhoor.

Cultural context

Ramadan is spiritual first, commercial second. Timing matters: content lands best just before iftar and late at night. Avoid showing food consumption during fasting hours in daytime placements.

Why marketers should care

Media consumption peaks, grocery and F&B spending surges, and brands that show up with warmth and generosity build year-long loyalty. Plan creative 6–8 weeks ahead.
