The tablecloth is important. White, beige, silver, gold… You can choose it in a fairly soft tone or more colorful, according to your desires and according to the dishes offered.

Place foods to break the fast, traditionally dates, at the edge of the table. Arrange the other dishes in a staggered manner on the table. Round, oval, square, vary the shapes of the dishes to highlight all the dishes concocted. For cakes, a tiered display is ideal to give the whole thing a little height.

–The crescent moon and the star: the symbols of Islam

You can include symbols of Islam in your Ramadan decoration. Sprinkle your table or wall with stars and crescent moons. They will remind you of your religious commitment while adding a touch of elegance to your home.

The crescent moon, stars and even lanterns are traditional and timeless decorations. Arabic lanterns (fanoos) can be hung from ceilings and doors, or placed on tables.
