Take a tour of the Ramadan experience at Emirates Towers in a new 3D tour hosted by Virtual Dubai and created by Virtual World - and dive even deeper with glasses and wearable technology

Ramadan at Jumeirah Emirates Towers this year centres on the outdoor Ramadan Majlis set between the two iconic towers of the hotel in Dubai’s financial district.

During the Holy Month, the terrace space is transformed into a traditional Arabic gathering area where guests come together after sunset to break the fast.

The setting is particularly striking because it sits in the heart of the city, directly opposite the futuristic Museum of the Future and along the busy Sheikh Zayed Road skyline.

The main experience is the Iftar and Suhoor dining programme.

At sunset, guests gather for Iftar, traditionally beginning with dates and Arabic coffee before moving to a large buffet featuring Middle Eastern classics alongside international dishes.

Typical offerings include mezze, grilled meats, lamb dishes, rice specialities and a wide range of Ramadan desserts.

Later in the evening the atmosphere shifts to Suhoor, a more relaxed late-night meal with lighter dishes, shisha and a social majlis-style environment where guests linger into the early hours.

The Majlis reflects traditional Ramadan hospitality.

Seating areas are arranged in majlis style with comfortable sofas and low tables, while oud music and subtle lighting create a calm, reflective atmosphere.

Arabic coffee ceremonies, incense and decorative lanterns are part of the experience, reinforcing the cultural traditions associated with Ramadan gatherings in the Gulf.

The location also places the hotel close to one of Dubai’s seasonal Ramadan attractions, the Ramadan District.

This pop-up night market appears nearby, bringing food stalls, small retail vendors and cultural performances that add to the evening atmosphere around the towers.

Within Dubai’s hospitality scene, Ramadan at Jumeirah Emirates Towers is known as a long-standing social gathering venue.

Because the hotel sits in the financial district, many companies host group Iftars there, while residents and visitors come for the open-air setting and central location.

Jumeirah Emirates Towers took the titles of United Arab Emirates’ Leading Hotel, United Arab Emirates’ Leading Luxury City Hotel and Dubai’s Leading Hotel in Service Excellence at the World Travel Awards.
