Ramadan in Libya
Hi there,
I am planning to have my girlfriend and my 2CV drive me around in Tunisia/ Libya during the month of December. Apparently this coincides with the celebration of Ramadan. Lacking incredible knowledge of the world's religions, I am not quite sure how this will impact me, or how our merryful dune hopping might bother them.
So, If you feel you are in a position you can, please enlighten us:
When (and what) excactly is Ramadan?
Is this widely celebrated in Tunesia/Libya (Algeria, we'll be there early January)?
Will we be able to travel freely or do we need to take precautions?
Will local and official services operate normally?
Will locals be offended by foreigners not obiding to Ramandan rules?
Is the end of Ramadan something to be celebrated (by a tourist)?
