If you’re flying this Ramadan and wondering how you’ll break your fast in the air, Emirates has you covered. During the entire holy month, the airline will serve specially prepared iftar boxes alongside the regular hot meal service.
Inside the box, you’ll find all familiar flavours:
- light starters like hummus, moutabel or muhammara served with traditional bread
- chicken mossakan sandwich or a herbed chicken sandwich
- chocolate almonds and classic bites such as pistachio mamoul or baklawa with pine seeds and cashews
Laban is provided to help you rehydrate after a long day of fasting.
Since sunset shifts depending on altitude and location, Emirates uses a special system to calculate the exact moment of iftar during flights. When it’s officially time to break your fast, the captain makes an announcement on board. If you need a prayer mat, cabin crew can provide one on request throughout the month.
Details like these explain why Emirates continues to set the standard for air travel and was named the world’s best airline in 2025.
It’s worth checking out what else Emirates is offering. Soon, free WiFi powered by Starlink is coming to all flights, and Premium Economy Class is already available on many routes for travellers who want extra comfort without going all the way to Business Class prices.
