noooo:
So it's the stay at home and watch Sharapova and other girlies get all hot and sweaty at Wimbledon plan B then?

I see your cunning plan here Steve, convince Nick to stay at home so that there is no risk of colossal gubberation anywhere near you...  rubschin:

Non-Muslims should show respect to those who are fasting and pay attention so as not to offend Islamic values. If you demonstrate culturally insensitive behaviour that offends, you could be arrested. Non-Muslims should observe the rules of Ramadan in public and should note the following:

Avoid eating, drinking, chewing gum or smoking in public during the daytime (including in your car) - many people will understand that you aren’t under the same obligation to fast but will appreciate your awareness. Pregnant, nursing women and young children are exempt from the provisions, but discretion should be exercised
In some Muslim countries it’s actually illegal to eat and drink in daylight during Ramadan
Some restaurants will close or operate amended opening hours during Ramadan
Restaurants that cater to tourists may open as usual but hotels will sometimes use screens to keep western diners sectioned off from Islamic guests
Take extra care about your clothing during the holy month. Ensure you dress modestly as standards may be policed even more carefully than usual
Driving may be more erratic than usual, particularly during the later afternoon and early evening, be patient and show tolerance especially during this time
Business hours may become shorter in the day

Morocco is dry during Ramadan, alcohol is not available even after Ramadan breaks at night.
Credit where credits due, the Moroccan’s are a resilient bunch, as if fasting during daylight hours for a month isn’t dedication enough, abstinence from alcohol and sex is expected for the entire month also.

There’s no relief from this one though folks, no alcohol free periods between certain hours like fasting.

We didn’t so much as see a single bottle of beer, or glass of wine during our entire trip to Morocco.

It should be noted that the first call to prayer occurs in the early hours of the morning (not only during Ramadan). Since this is often a loud siren it may awaken light sleepers or those in riads near to a mosque. If you are a light sleeper or are staying in a Riad, you may find earplugs useful!
