Photo of Sharjah Lagoon and fountain at sunset 3 views | From the portfolio of Aidan O'Rourke

Sunset on the Lagoon is an impressive sight on most evenings. Here we see the sun setting between apartment blocks, while a boat crosses the Lagoon. The fountain is reminscent of Geneva, but the buildings are more in the style of America.

For moslems, sunset is an important time of day - At this point, which falls differently on each day - the dhuhr prayer takes place - one of the five prayers of the day. And during the holy month of Ramadan, sunset has an extra special significance: It marks Iftar - the end of the daily fast, when muslims are allowed to eat and drink again

Sharjah Lagune und Springbrunnen bei Sonnenuntergang (3 Bilder)
Sonnenuntergang an der Lagune ist an den meisten Abenden ein beeindruckendes Erlebnis. Hier sinkt die Sonne zwischen Apartmenthäusern, während ein Boot die Lagune überquert. Der Springbrunnen erinnert an Genf, aber die Gebäude geben das Gefühl einer amerikanischen Stadt.

Für Muslime ist der Sonnenuntergang eine wichtige Tageszeit - An diesem Zeitpunkt - der jeden Tag anders fällt - findet das Dhuhr-Gebet statt, eines der fünf Gebete des Tages. Während des heiligen Monats Ramadan hat der Sonnenuntergang eine besondere Bedeutung: Iftar - das Ende der täglichen Fast, ist der Zeitpunkt wenn Moslems wieder essen und trinken dürfen.
