Ramadan is drawing to a close; the annual month-long stint of fasting before Muslims the world over roll out the confetti cannons to celebrate Eid.
It means that those practising will fast from sunrise to sunset, allowing no food or drink to pass their lips until the evening meal of iftar begins after the sun goes down. This year, Ramadan will begin on the evening of March 10 and run until April 9, the date of Eid al-Fitr.
