Let's explore how to spend Ramadan in Korea. This year, Ramadan in Korea will take place from Sunday, 2 March 2025. For Muslim travelers, Ramadan is a significant time, and with proper preparation, it can be a more meaningful experience. 
 
 
 During Ramadan, the five daily prayers, Friday congregational prayer, and Tarawih prayers are essential aspects for Muslims. The Seoul Central Mosque, located in Itaewon, is the largest mosque in Korea, where many Muslims gather to pray and observe Ramadan. Additionally, prayer spaces are available in various locations, including the Busan Al-Fatihah Mosque, Incheon Islamic Center, and Jeju Central Masjid, allowing travelers to perform their prayers even while on the move. If visiting a mosque or center is difficult, it is also possible to find a quiet place in a park or airport to pray at the designated times. 
 
 
 Iftar, the meal to break the fast after a full day of fasting, is a precious moment for Muslims. In Korea, some mosques and masjids provide Iftar meals. At the Seoul Central Mosque, water, dates, and dinner are provided, and Iftar coupons are distributed 30 minutes before the Maghrib prayer. With these coupons, you can also enjoy a meal at nearby halal restaurants. During the last ten days of Ramadan, Itikaf is available, but Suhoor (pre-dawn meal) is not provided. Iftar gatherings offer a special opportunity to dine and interact with Muslims from various nationalities, creating a unique experience. 
 
 
 To have a comfortable Ramadan in Korea, there are a few helpful tips to consider. While fasting, it is recommended to have a light schedule, such as viewing cherry blossoms or taking a stroll along the Han River. After Iftar, visiting nighttime attractions like N Seoul Tower or Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) can offer an enjoyable experience. 
 
 
 Spending Ramadan in Korea may be different from other countries, but visiting mosque or masjids can help you connect with the Muslim community and have a warm and memorable Ramadan.
