Thanks. I worked for the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding (www.cultures.ae) and learned A LOT about life as a Muslim and Emirati. Their Iftar is one thing I suggest to everyone in Dubai at least once because it combines not just the food but an explanation of the prayers and other rituals. There are Emiratis there to answer questions and just chat which is very unusual. For most expats It is very difficult to meet Emiratis any other way. And you're allowed to take pictures of people praying which would otherwise be a totally uncool thing to do.

I don't know if the mosques in the US offer Ramadan programs or Iftar celebrations, but it would be worth looking into and would be an excellent time to learn more about this not that much different than Christianity or Judaism religion that gets so much bad press.
