Main page: Ramadan guidelines in the UAE. Summary:

[Check, update] Workers and labourers in UAE during Ramadan

In 2010, construction workers, labourers, and others working outside during the day in the summer months were permitted to break their fast during the day if conditions made it too difficult for them to continue fasting, according to a Fatwa on the www.awqaf.ae website dated 05 August 2010. Unknown if this still applies in later years. See UAE workers and Ramadan for more details.

[Check and update] Iftar cannons in UAE - 2011 information, should be similar for 2016

Locations of cannons being fired to signal Iftar (not confirmed for 2016 yet). Cannons are operated by the local police. Free meals to spectators still being offered in Sharjah locations handed out by Sharjah Police (Gulf News 26 July 2011)?
