DUBAI, UAE - Seawings, the only seaplane tour operator in the Middle East, announces its 2009 Ramadan Promotion. Over the holy month of Ramadan, passengers can enjoy a unique Ramadan experience - book a scenic flight of Dubai’s iconic skyline and then enjoy a traditional Iftar dinner at the Park Hyatt or Jebel Ali Hotel.
During the holy month of Ramadan, Muslims all over the world unite in a period of fasting and spiritual reflection. The annual fast of Ramadan is considered one of the five “pillars” of Islam. Muslims are required to fast each day of the entire month, from sunrise to sunset.
Iftar, the meal taken after sunset to break the fast, usually starts with consuming a date and drinking water, a tradition which goes back to the earliest days of Islam. Once this traditional fast-breaking is complete, people can eat an array of foods, with many regions having their own delicious traditional Iftar food.
To mark this momentous Islamic occasion, Seawings is offering a Ramadan Promotion for visitors and residents alike in the UAE. There are two flight options available: The Ramadan afternoon special departs at 5pm from the Dubai Creek and returns 40 minutes later after a scenic tour of Dubai. The package is priced at AED 1225 per person and includes a flight of Dubai and an Iftar buffet dinner at the Park Hyatt.
The Ramadan sunset special departs at 6pm from the Dubai Creek and lands at Jebel Ali Hotel. The package is priced at AED 1125 per person and includes a 30 minute scenic flight of Dubai and an Iftar buffet dinner at La Fontana Restaurant.
En route passengers get to see magical twilight views of Dubai’s skyline and include views of Dubai’s most iconic landmarks, such as Palm Jumeirah, The World Islands, Burj Al Arab, and the historic Dubai Creek.
More information on flight bookings and the Ramadan experience are available on the website www.seawings.ae and can be booked through the Seawings reservation team +971-4-883-2999.
