When the concert lights dim at Saadiyat Nights, the fairy lights switch on. Layali Ramadan returns to Saadiyat Island for its second season, turning the open air venue into a calm, lantern lit Suhoor setting throughout the Holy Month. From 9pm to 3am each night, families and friends can settle in under the stars for long conversations, late night bites and that unhurried Ramadan feeling we all crave.
