Emirates Iftar boxes at Boarding Gates
For the comfort of fasting customers at select Emirates Boarding Gates during iftar time, complimentary iftar boxes to help break the fast – containing water, laban, a banana, and dates are distributed.
Captain announcements of Iftar time
To ensure the highest levels of accuracy for fasting Muslim passengers, Emirates uses a unique tool to calculate the correct timings for imsak (the time to commence fasting) and iftar while in-flight, based on the times of the sunrise and sunset of the location the flight is passing by using the aircraft’s longitude, latitude, and altitude. When the sun sets, passengers will be officially informed of the iftar time by the captain.
Emirates Ramadan Meal Boxes onboard
From the month of Ramadan, customers breaking their fast across all cabin classes to select destinations will be offered nutritionally balanced Ramadan meal boxes. Iftar meals will be served in bespoke boxes, designed by Emirates to represent the geometric design that features in traditional Islamic art. The meal boxes will include light bites of hummus or moutabel with Arabic bread, sweet treats of almond chocolate, walnut baklawa, apricot ball and traditional dates, alongside a chicken zaatar and mozzarella cheese wrap or lamb shawarma and halloumi cheese wrap, washed down with some laban to help customers break their fast. Emirates’ Ramadan boxes are served in addition to the regular hot meal service.
