Arab governments are on alert for potential terrorist threats during Ramadan, a time that has seen a surge of attacks in recent years. The Muslim holy month is a time of prayer and introspection, festivity and celebration, a time when good deeds are multiplied by ten.

Security across the region has been heightened.
