Ramadan is a peaceful and beautiful period for Muslims across the globe. People in the UAE started celebrating the holy month on March 1. Ramadan is the time for fasting, self-reflection, community bonding and charitable acts.
Etihad, the national airline of the UAE, is putting considerable effort into making Ramadan 2025 more special for its passengers. It is bringing treasured Emirati traditions onboard its flights to guests from across the globe, luring them to be part of celebrations.
Etihad’s commitment to premium and sustainable experience
This Ramadan 2025, Etihad is asking its customers to share in the rich Emirati culture the airline champions. Etihad’s carefully curated Ramadan menus are designed for comfort and tradition, ensuring a memorable and fulfiling experience for all.
Throughout the month of Ramadan, Etihad is taking its passengers on a delicious culinary journey – full of Emirati touches and Ramadan highlights. The airline uses fresh, regional ingredients in its commitment to a premium and sustainable experience.
Be it thousands of metres in the air or in the lounges, passengers can indulge in a fabulous culinary scene. You can find palatable platters and exquisite Ramadan-inspired dishes inflight and in the Business and First lounges at Zayed International and London Heathrow.

There are a number of dishes to pay attention to;
1. People in the Residence and First Class can choose from a broad selection of Emirati-inspired dishes such as traditional Lentil soup, Emirati Mont Blanc and Emirati-style Rice-stuffed Lamb Shank.
2. Customers in the Residence and First Class can also opt for an Iftar platter or a healthy Iftar salad for something a little lighter.

If flight timings fall outside of Iftar and Suhoor?
Etihad, the national airline of the UAE, takes needs of all its passengers into consideration. Therefore, if someone’s flight timings are falling outside of Iftar and Suhoor, the airline is gifting bags before boarding or after disembarkation.
Pre-boarding or during transit, Etihad customers enjoying the lounges in Zayed International Airport get a delectable spread of premium dishes. There are indulgent mains like lemon and black lime-marinated lobster and beef and okra saloona.
The tempting array of desserts includes kunafa and rose cake, coffee tiramisu and many more. Premium guests boarding an Etihad flight in London can enjoy similar Ramadan specialities such as lamb biriyani and a Vimto cheesecake.

What makes you a good journalist? Hopefully, I can find a convincing answer to it someday.From Btech in Civil Engineering to pursuing Masters in Journalism and Mass Communication, it has been quite a journey. I have a keen interest in investigative journalism and exploring the latest developments in the Gulf region.
I care about ethical reporting and bringing something new to the table. Overall, if not a writer, I believe I would have been a globetrotter or a pet-sitter.
