F&B and STAYCATION PREDICTIONS DURING RAMADAN
With every year, Dubai opens itself up during Ramadan to host more visitors in order to maintain its competitive edge as one of the most visited cities in the world (coming in fourth after Bangkok, Paris and London) whilst remaining respectful to the Holy Month and the cultural sensitivities it brings.
Just a couple of years ago, there were strict rules against eating and drinking in public during the month of Ramadan in Dubai. With the restrictions relaxing to appeal to a growing number of non-Muslim residents and visitors, Dubai is able to continue its appeal as a must-visit worldwide destination. This is especially outstanding considering the city welcoming 14.36 million international overnight visitors in 2022. The spring break is one of the most popular times of the year (second only to the festive period) for families to visit from around the world. Taking place during Ramadan this year only presents more opportunities than before. Many local students are on two-week breaks from school for the first time in two decades. Whilst a few will travel to their home countries or other destinations, many will be looking to spend quality time with family and friends right here in Dubai.
This Ramadan, visitors still have the chance to experience the wonders the city brings, whilst having the opportunity to observe local customs. Enjoying a traditional Iftar and Suhoor in the evening is seen as an extraordinary social ritual here in the UAE.
The cool weather also plays a key factor – the recent spring showers have had a positive impact on the weather with breezier, cooler temperatures and future changes of rain hopefully maintaining the great weather conditions these next few weeks.
This opens up lots of opportunities for hotels. We are proud to present an unparalleled dining experience this Ramadan with our Iftar and Suhoor offerings at FETA Restaurant in
Edge Creekside Hotel. Our seasoned culinary team has curated an exquisite menu of authentic Arabic cuisine, showcasing the best of traditional dishes. We are ready to welcome our guests to the warm and inviting atmosphere of the hotel while partaking in the true essence of Ramadan. We see families, friends and colleagues come together to celebrate and experience the spirit of Ramadan every year.
For those not fasting, Dubai remains open and welcoming, including our restaurants. Guests will be able to enjoy all-day dining from 6 AM to 2 AM. It truly feels like the city has evolved and become more inclusive towards people from all walks of lives and beliefs.
With every year, Ramadan will come forward by a few weeks, which will also serve to increase participation and offering, meaning hotels will be tasked to offer more in order to stand out. Not only will the hotels city’s residents, but tourists as well who wish to experience the culture and traditions during the holy month. Being a part of one of the most popular malls, we will be the ideal location for tourists to stay, shop, dine, get around the city, while enjoying the world-class service our brand offers.
