During Ramadan, businesses can open their doors at 8 a.m. and operate until 2 a.m., according to the GAM press release.

The decision was based on Article 5 of the by-law that regulates restaurants, cafes, clubs, playfields, theatres, cinemas and entertainment parks under the jurisdiction of GAM, number (31) for the year 2017.
