Make your travel easy by watching a musical. It's a perfect option if you prefer to stay cozy indoors and see a real-life performance. Grab a chance to see your favorite actor bring your favorite stories to life and sing along to a song or two.
Watching a musical is an excellent method to pass time and you will leave the room feeling mesmerized and satisfied.

One of the best ways to cool off the heat while fasting during Ramadan is to visit a water theme park. Have a blast taking a roller coaster ride or slowly drift off on a man-made river. You can get your pulse racing without working out with just the adrenaline rush of a water slide!
For Muslims who are worried whether swimming will break your fast, do not worry as it is entirely okay for you to have some fun in these waterparks! Just make sure that during the process you're able to make sure that you are not swallowing the water and try your best to prevent them from entering your stomach.
