In anticipation of Eid al-Fitr, marking the culmination of Ramadan, Emirates is set to delight passengers with special celebrations from April 10 to 13. The airline will introduce an array of traditional Eid delicacies across its classes, enhanced lounge experiences, and an updated selection of Arabic entertainment on its award-winning ice system, ensuring a festive and memorable journey for travelers.

Eid al-Fitr, a significant celebration for Muslims worldwide, symbolizes the end of the fasting month. Emirates' commitment to honoring this occasion reflects the airline's dedication to cultural diversity and its desire to offer a unique travel experience that resonates with the celebratory spirit of Eid.

Festive Flavors Take Flight

Passengers flying from Dubai in Economy Class will savor dishes like chicken biryani and lamb kibbeh, accompanied by Eid-themed desserts such as halwa brownie and chocolate mousse with batheeth crumble. Premium Economy and Business Class travelers can enjoy specialties including chicken mashwi el jeder and fish matfy, with desserts like pistachio and hibiscus namoura. First Class passengers are in for a treat with options like hammour matfy and braised beef short ribs machbouse, complemented by exquisite desserts such as vanilla and rose mousse cake.

Lounge Luxuries and Entertainment

The Emirates Lounges in Dubai will serve an assortment of Eid favorites, from Arabic coffee and jallab juice to hot and cold Arabic mezzeh and a selection of sweet treats including kunafa and kathayef. Adding to the festive atmosphere, First and Business Class guests can enjoy homemade Baklava and Arabic coffee ice cream from an old-fashioned ice cream cart.

On the entertainment front, Emirates' ice system will feature over 100 Arabic films, including new releases, and up to 285 Hollywood movies with Arabic subtitles, alongside a variety of Arabic TV series, podcasts, audiobooks, and music channels. This diverse entertainment offering ensures that passengers can enjoy the latest in global and regional content while celebrating Eid al-Fitr.

Emirates' special Eid al-Fitr offerings not only cater to the culinary and entertainment tastes of its diverse passenger base but also highlight the airline's effort to enhance the travel experience during this festive season.
