The second weekend of Ramadan is upon us. The city – and its residents – have now well and truly adjusted, welcoming a new routine steeped in mindfulness, reflection and tradition. The MOJEH Weekend creates an itinerary that reflects the Holy Month and emphasises health and wellbeing with a beloved fitness studio that has rolled out Ramadan-specific memberships with low-intensity classes; treat yourself to a new Whoop cover, courtesy of Toi Fine Jewellery, as motivation to stay on track this Ramadan. Post-workout, a sprawling iftar at an island-inspired resort offers an opportunity to make memories with loved ones.
Where To Work Out
Dryp is running a Ramadan-focused membership option throughout the Holy Month for those that are fasting yet still want to keep up with their fitness routine. The membership involves a series of low-intensity classes centred on movement, recovery and community including pilates, barre and yoga in non-heated environments. Those taking part will also be treated to limited-edition goodies and part of the proceeds will be donated to a selected cause. Book now
What To Shop
You’d be hard pressed to find someone that doesn’t wear a Whoop nowadays. The advanced fitness device offers health and wellness insights, simplifying metrics across sleep, strain, stress, behaviours and health so you can better understand your body. It’s a useful tool throughout Ramadan when your body is going through a switch-up in routine. The problem? Its simple band doesn’t quite fit into your jewellery stack, especially when it comes to occasions. Toi Fine Jewellery, the Emirati fine-jewellery House, presents a first-of-its-kind solution. The made-to-order Sparkle Whoop cover is entirely handcrafted and features enamel detailing and diamonds. Plus, you can personalise it with your initial to make it extra special. Shop now
