We are aware that during the first week of Ramadan, all you want to do is sit at home after Iftar and lay on the couch until Suhoor. Make this Ramadan different, and spend your weekend enjoying the Ramadan vibes while you are out and about. This weekend guide is filled with Halal activities that don’t include partying but are just as entertaining and fun.

Thursday

For the philosophers and thinkers, Darb 1718’s community-curated exhibition of the season is all about our beloved city. The exhibition opens the door to questions like whether or not we truly have a sense of belonging and how we truly see our city. These questions will be answered through contemporary artworks by 32 students from the faculty of applied arts.
