Eton Institute's new Ramadan App for iOS has been designed to guide both local and expat communities through the month.

The app contains information for those observing the fast such as prayer and iftar timings, qibla direction, a mosque locator and healthy tips to consider while fasting. For people who are experiencing Ramadhan for the first time in the Middle East, this resourceful app also includes cultural tips, Arabic phrases, a glossary of terms as well as do's and don'ts specific to the month.

"As a company founded and headquartered in the UAE, the Eton Institute Ramadan app is our way of giving back to the community during this very special time and supporting the vision of connecting minds and building cultural bridges," commented Hana Fuchs, Marketing Director at Eton Institute.

Ramadhan is also known as the month of giving and sharing. As part of Eton Institute's Summer For Change campaign, the Ramadan App connects users to more information about this initiative, which includes local charitable activities and online donations to three international organisations.

Eton Institute also offers phrasebook apps in over 40 different languages here, some of which are free.
