The boxes are available in all cabin classes and feature a new design that incorporates the traditional Ramadhan symbol of the night sky. The iftar box contains slices of fresh seasonal fruits, an assortment of finger sandwiches, dates and traditional basbousa* and laban*.

Specially-designed complimentary bags will also be given to guests in premium cabins who would like to enjoy their post-sunset meal after they disembark.

Muslim guests will be able to enjoy Ramadhan-themed feature programmes that will run alongside the airline’s inflight entertainment. Entitled Ramadaniyat Specials, the programmes will include documentaries and lifestyle and cooking shows, such as Ma Qal Wa Dal, Qomrah, Khawater, Ramadan in Kenya, and Nema Dayma. 

Abdulaziz Alraisi, Executive Vice President, Products and Brand Development, said: “We always make every effort to provide a high-quality service for our guests and our Ramadhan offering perfectly demonstrates how we cater to all our guests’ needs.”

Full dining services will still be available for all non-Muslim guests during Ramadhan.

*Basbousa is a Middle Eastern cake made with semolina and soaked in syrup. It may be baked with coconut and have rosewater or orange water added to the syrup. Laban is a yoghurt drink.
