Ramadan Nights: What to Do After Ftour

Ramadan evenings are a chance to reconnect with friends, family and oneself.

Casablanca – Ramadan is that one month of the year where our schedules are changed like never before, entertainment included. Our daily activities smoothly shift into night.

In the middle of the day, we are often busy with fasting and keeping up with responsibilities. Some are working, some are studying and others are preparing delicious ftour meals.

Indeed, spirituality is part of the ritual. The schedule might be different, but Moroccans always find time to connect with God and read the Quran.

This spirituality expands to after ftour, as people go to perform taraweeh prayer. Our night ritual often starts after performing the prayer at the mosque.

So, what can we do after ftour?

Catching up with friends

Going to the old medina is always a favorite. If your friend is missing on a Ramadan night, go to the old medina, you’ll find them there.

The medina vibes are unmatched in ordinary days, let alone during Ramadan. It becomes vibrant and lively, filled with aromas from food stalls, the sound of laughter, and the gentle rhythm of evening chatter.

Some like to take a quiet walk along the streets, feeling the magic in the air after a day of fasting. Others may gather for card games or just hang out at local cafes.

Families often spend this time together, sharing stories, desserts, or a cup of mint tea (everybody’s favorite!)

Moving a little

Sport and exercise is also an option. Some play football, go for a jog, or cycle in the neighborhood after dinner. It’s a good way to digest and stay active while enjoying the night air.

Exercising during the day might be difficult for some. So after ftour is best to move, stretch, and get a bit of fresh air without feeling tired.

Even a short walk or light exercise can refresh the body and lift the mood, making the night feel lighter and more energized.

Chilling

After ftour and prayers, some nights are just made for slowing down. Watching a Moroccan movie, listening to music, or simply sitting back and enjoying the quiet of the night are ways for you to relax and enjoy the gentle rhythm of Ramadan.

Whatever you choose to do, Ramadan evenings are a chance to reconnect with friends, family and yourself. The holy month transforms the night into a special time, one where every moment feels alive and meaningful.
