That's so true. I spoke to Taqo last night and I had to excuse myself because I was at the mall, at 1.30 am. 
She says Salaams from Makkah btw.
But that only happens in Ramadhan though....Normally, malls tend to close at 11.00 pm. In Ramadaan working hours are shorter and most malls only open up after Asr prayer(3.00) and close at Maghrib(5.45). Everything remains closed until after Taraweeh (about 9.00), up until 2.00 am.
Welcome to the Middle East's nocturnal life style!

that is the norm there i remember in Lahore with all the nights food music shops it was great fun. They also do this in the middle east as it is cooler during the night!!! The day is waaaay to hot!
Definitely! It is so cool to roam the streets during the night

Just wondering what a christian is doing in an islamic forum. Specialy arguying about islamic matters from a muslim point of view, rather than the usual argumentative or intruiged points of view.
How is that from an Islamic point of view?

That might have something to with the fact that it was Makkah and Medina and not any other city.
I usually sleep after Fajr and wake at about about 10-11. My siblings school and my ex-school(God, that feels good
), classes start at 9.30 (you might think that's\ normal, but here it isn't. School during non-Ramaadhan days, start a 6.45...at times school buses might be at your door at 5.30 am) and end at 2.00 pm. This particular school doesn't have a 1 hr lunch break as some of you guys do, we have 20 min lunch break, which becomes 15 min in Ramadhan (and the cafeteria is only open for the primary grades(1-3)). We also have another break for Thuhr/Zuhr prayer for about 15 min too. Only then is the cafeteria open for the grades 4-12.mizfissy815

About 5 am. I'm still used to the 5 hrs of sleep(if I'm lucky) I lived on during my A-levels. I currently live in UAE, but was born and raised in Saudi(home sweet home). I shall not narrow down my location any further than that.
Is Saudi very similar to UAE Fizzy?

Not to my knowledge
And that's a good thing imo. I'm talking about the legal enforcement upon society...

That's unhealthy! Is 5 hours for most people or?
In my opinion, UAE seems to be splashing the cash to boost tourism.
They should build a big beautiful mosque near that famous island hotel.

Assalamu Alaikum to everyone... Btw, outside of Dubai is tourism big in the UAE?Asslamu alikum everyone.

I just never heard a non-muslim telling a muslim to use arabic words to refer to the 5 pillars of his religion and arguying over it, thats all
. I would expect that conversation to be between 2 muslims

5 hours? Woah.

Lol....no just me. I'm a freak, my mom even thinks so.
Is Saudi very similar to UAE Fizzy?
In some ways- yes, in other no.
Things that most of the Gulf countries share such as culture, habits, and life style are very similar. But when it comes down to it, Saudi Arabia bases everything on religion first…I can't say the same for UAE.

Wa Alaikum as Salaam. The number of mosques in all of UAE would be less than the total number of mosques in Saudi Arabia's major cities, Riyadh, Jeddah, Makkah and Madina. In Saudi there is about 2 mosques within a half a km radius from any point.
Well, they're trying, Abu Dhabi is heading that way while the other cities are the centres of cultures, traditions, not to mention natural beauty. Sharajah, Aiyn and Ajman are also booming. I'll finish this later, as I have to run now.
Assalaamu Alaikum all.
