Frequently asked questions

How can I get transport after Iftar / Suhoor / outside regular hours?

We recommend booking your return transport ahead of time. Some hotels or ride-share services may offer early mornings or late-evening options on request—please check with your accommodation and allow extra time. 

Do I need to bring my own prayer mat or Qur’an?

Prayer rugs, Qur’ans (available in Arabic, Spanish, and English), and other devotional items are provided in each prayer room. However, you are welcome to bring your own if you prefer.

Are there quiet or private areas for Tarawih (night prayers) or extended worship after hours?

The dedicated prayer rooms are available during standard operating hours. For Tarawih or extended night prayers after Iftar, we recommend visiting one of Barcelona’s local Mosques. 

Will there be halal food or snack items available? What about Suhoor?

Yes. Halal food outlets will be available throughout the venue. Detailed information on their locations and operating hours will be published on this site and in the official event app in the coming weeks.

For Suhoor (pre-dawn meal), please make arrangements via the official accommodation partner, bNetwork. Otherwise, contact your hotel or accommodation provider to communicate your specific requirements. 

Can I invite business partners / clients into the prayer or meditation rooms?

The prayer and meditation areas are primarily intended for personal reflection and worship. For business or client meetings, we suggest using standard meeting or lounge spaces. Please respect the serenity of the spaces and avoid scheduling business discussions in them.

What should I wear when I attend the prayer rooms?

We encourage modest and respectful attire. The venue provides prayer rugs, slippers and pashmina scarves if needed. Separate areas for men and women ensure privacy and comfort.

Are there facilities for ablution (wudu) near the prayer rooms?

Yes — the prayer rooms spaces include convenient washroom facilities, providing easy access for ablution (wudu) before prayer. 

Will signage in the venue include Arabic or be multilingual?

Signage indicating prayer rooms and related amenities will be clearly marked and easy to follow. To ensure international consistency and accessibility, all venue signage is in English. 

If I’m fasting, are there quiet zones or lower lighting spaces in the daytime for rest?

The meditation space in Hall 3 may serve as a quieter zone during the daytime hours. This space is open to all genders.

What happens if Iftar time shifts due to local sunset variation?

Dates and water for Iftar are offered from 18:00 – 19:00 (Mon-Wed). If local sunset differs, the venue schedule remains as provided—please plan accordingly and attend the designated Iftar spot during that hour.
