A funny little rumour has been circling recently, that has revealed an interesting tradition bubbling for a while in the Middle East, more specifically the UAE. The thing is, it is not a rumour, lavish suhoor parties have become a common occurrence during Ramadan. Some time during the night,  Muslim women across the UAE get dressed up, don their most sparkly and lavish abayas, dress to the nines in jewellery, heels and makeup, and celebrate in an expensive looking tent. Heres the hilarious part, many Muslims in the west were completely oblivious to this practice and only found out about the luxurious parties due to the now infamous MAC advertisement that went viral promoting makeup for Suhoor. Ever since Tweets emerged from different Twitter users verifying this newly revealed information.

The internet exploded around Suhur time and the Tweets were pretty hilarious:
