For the first weekend of Ramadan we’ll be giving cooling off by the slopes, taking time out at the spa and come sundown, feasting on a elaborate Iftar.
Pampering…
Ramadan is the perfect time of year to take time out of your busy schedule and look after yourself and your loved ones, so why not get the girls together for a pamper session at the stunning Park Hyatt Dubai?
The Summer Rejuvenation package includes a bamboo scrub to energise lacklustre skin followed by the choice of a head or a foot massage.
If that wasn’t utterly tempting, you’ll then be invited to sample the spa menu, brimming with light bites and healthy juices before taking advantage of the spa, pool and sauna at the reduced total price of just Dhs550.
Total relaxation guaranteed. To book call (04) 6021666.
Snow bunnies…
While the temperatures soar outside, you can keep your cool at an Iftar with a difference at the Kempinski Hotel Mall Of The Emirates.
Enjoy delicious treats while relaxing in your very own ski chalet with views of the snow-coated Ski Dubai.
The Iftar is priced at Dhs395 per head with a minimum booking of six people.
Why not make your experience even more memorable with an overnight stay in the chalet, priced at Dhs6,999. For bookings, call (04) 4095999.
Sundown feasting…
High on our Iftar hit list is Emirates Palace’s gourmet Ramadan spread.
Set in a luxurious custom-built pavilion inside the hotel, the space features a large dining area complete with sea views and live Arabian music. There are also four cosy private majilises where you can play card games and indulge in some shisha.
Executive chef Sandro Gamba has worked with local farms and suppliers to ensure each and every dish is fresh and authentic.
There will be soups, salads, mezze, moussaka, maqloobeh and even a few camel specialties on offer!
But it’s the dessert station that’s teased our taste buds. Chocolate fountains, rich mousses, crème brûlée and our personal favourite atayef, custard-filled Arabic pancakes, yum!
Dhs249 for the Iftar and Suhour is à la carte.
