Ramadan
Share the spirit of Ramadan
Whether you’re meeting up with loved ones at home or travelling this Ramadan, we wish you peace, health and happiness wherever you are in the world. In the spirit of the Islamic holy month, Emirates employees teamed up with artists with learning disabilities to create a special design for the Ramadan meal boxes we’re offering on board. The creative collaboration is an opportunity to showcase their talent to the world.
Breaking your fast
If you’re fasting for Ramadan, and iftar or suhoor falls during departure or on your flight, we’re offering special services to help you break your fast. At the boarding gate, we’ll have water and dates, and on board we’ll give you one of our Ramadan meal boxes. They’re packed with a nutritious meal and a drink to enjoy on board and take with you when you land.
While you relax on your journey, you can choose our special Ramadan selection on ice inflight entertainment with specific religious programmes throughout the holy month.
Creating art together
Watch the story of how our Ramadan meal box design came together. Emirates employees worked with UAE artists who have learning disabilities (referred to as people of determination in the UAE) to discuss how they wanted to express the meaning of Ramadan in the box design. The artists are from Mawaheb studio, which offers the chance for the artists to develop their life skills and express their talent and creativity through art.
Buy original artwork from Mawaheb
Throughout Ramadan, you can buy original, one-of-a-kind artwork by artists from Mawaheb studio from the Emirates Official Store online. All the proceeds from the sale of the artwork goes back to Mawaheb studio.
