More Ramadan Eye Candy
A scene from the Mall of the Emirates (above) shows the traditional symbol of Ramadan, the crescent moon surrounded by stars.
Have I mentioned how much I enjoy Ramadan decorations? Yes, I realize mall decorations are materialistic, capitalistic, consumeristic, all of the above.
I don’t care.
For those that may not know… cultural symbols for Ramadan include lanterns (fanouz), calligraphy, dates, and arabesque motifs. (More religious symbols are the Quran and the mosque.)
Below are photos taken in Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emirates. 
And my favorite is … Harvey Nichols. Every year this shop has a creative Ramadan themed display in each of their windows. These last three photos are from Harvey Nichols….

Nice photos. I took the exact same one of the hanging stars at the MOE. Its my favorite mall decoration this year. And the lanterns! LOL
@Zvezdana Everytime I walk through the Mall of the Emirates and look at the moon & stars, I smile. That crescent moon reminds me a big white banana. I wish I could have seen the workers stringing those things up. 🙂
Nobody does it like Dubai….That’s why I like Dubai better than Jordan. Even at Christmas. And my Fav place to Spend money…Emirates mall. 😉 Happy times!! Twinkling of the pretty lights during Ramadan & the beautiful Christmas trees during the Holidays. Maybe one day they will have “FAKE SNOW” knowing Dubai….lol 🙂
