Quick answer: UAE astronomers expect Ramadan 2027 to begin around 8 February, subject to moon sighting. Preparing now means steadier sleep, gradual changes to caffeine, and regular light exercise. During Ramadan, most people find a massage most comfortable after iftar, once they have eaten and drunk; choose lighter pressure and avoid a session right before suhoor if you are tired.

Why Prepare Three Months Early?
Because sleep and caffeine habits take weeks to change, not days. The hardest part of the first week of fasting for many people is not hunger. It is the sudden change in sleep, with late nights, an early suhoor and a long working day. Small adjustments made over the winter make that shift gentler.
What Can You Change Between Now and February?
Sleep, caffeine and fitness, one at a time.
- Sleep: settle on a regular bedtime now. A body used to a steady rhythm adapts to a new one more easily.
- Caffeine: if you drink several cups of coffee or tea a day, start cutting down gradually in January to avoid withdrawal headaches in the first days of fasting.
- Fitness: keep up regular light exercise through the cooler months, so you are not starting from zero.
- Water: practise drinking steadily through the day. During Ramadan you will need to fit it all between iftar and suhoor.
When Does a Massage Fit Best During Ramadan?
After iftar, once you have eaten and had water. Lying down for an hour while fasting and dehydrated can leave some people light-headed. Most of our guests during the holy month come between iftar and midnight.
A few practical points:
- Leave about an hour after a large iftar meal before lying face down.
- Choose lighter pressure in the first week, while your body adjusts. Our Indian sessions are the gentlest on our menu.
- Tell your therapist if you feel tired or have not slept well.
- Avoid booking straight before suhoor if you plan to go back to sleep afterwards; you may struggle to settle.
Will Opening Hours Change During the Holy Month?
No. We stay open 24 hours throughout the year, including the fasting month. Evenings after iftar are busy, so a WhatsApp message a little ahead helps if you want a specific time or therapist.
How Can You Protect Sleep During the Month?
Split your rest and protect the main block. Many people do well with one longer sleep after taraweeh or a late-night routine, and a short nap in the afternoon. Keep screens out of bed and the room cool and dark. Our guide to massage and better sleep has more ideas.
If you have a medical condition or take regular medication, speak to your doctor about fasting well before the month begins.

Questions on This Topic
When is Ramadan 2027 expected to start in the UAE?
UAE Astronomy Centre projections point to around 8 February 2027. The exact date depends on the official moon sighting, so check the announcement closer to the time.
Is it better to have a session before or after iftar during Ramadan?
After iftar suits most people. You have eaten and had water, so you are less likely to feel light-headed. Wait about an hour after a large meal before lying face down.
