I have been in Iran for a week now having seen Ramadan / Ramazan start in Eastern Turkey.
Apparently there is a Islamic rule / law ?which stipulates that a traveller more than 60km from home is exempt from fasting. I have seen plenty of Muslim feeders in the hotel restaurants for breakfast & lunch. So no problem eating in daylight in this manner.
Yeah the streets should be avoided but again I've seen quite a few daylight smokers & people ecourage me to try some of their local delicacies during the day - but there's a different motive here me thinks!
So it's not all daytime starvation.
Cheers Graeme
