These are the 16 Iftar Previews of 2019 that we managed to attend before the month of Ramadan and still miss a few. Since I could not do it alone, I would like to thank the extra helping hands and tummies Ms. A, Ms. T and Ms. M (Abudhabi). They created content, criticized and gave valuable feedback which helped me compile a list. They are all lovely enough to socialize on my anti-social behalf at the events! I could personally cover only 6 events and the rest are as follows.
Ms. A – 4 events.
Ms. T – 5 events.
Ms. M – Abu Dhabi
