Sometimes known as the \u2018sweet Eid\u2019, Eid al Fitr is renowned for its sugary delights savoured after a month of fasting, and Emirates will be offering passengers plenty of delicious desserts, such as warm date pudding garnished with fresh berries, dates and pistachios in First Class, a fluffy vanilla sponge cake with white chocolate and hibiscus cream in Business and Premium Economy Class, and Batheetha \u2013 a sumptuous saffron date crumble, or a sweet pumpkin Asseda, topped with roasted cashew nuts in Economy Class. In the onboard A380 lounge, there will be a selection of Emirati pastries to relish, or passengers can help themselves to a decadent slice of Arabic coffee cake adorned with fresh berries, dates, and pistachios. All passengers will also receive an additional mini treat of ashta sfouf with their meal wishing them \u2018Eid Mubarak,\u2019 \u2013 a sweet turmeric and sesame cake with cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Dubai’s airport lounges on the 21 April, First Class passengers can explore a wide selection of lounge fare, which will include Arabic coffee, jallab and kamarruddin juice, hot and cold Arabic mezzeh, lamb ouzi or Emirati ouzi served with dakous and coriander mint raita, followed by all-time favourite kunafa with pistachio and baklava ice-cream.

In the business class lounges of Dubai there will be classic shish taouk with harissa red pepper dip, alongside more Eid mocktails such as the \u2018Rumman Cooler\u2019 \u2013 a refreshing beverage combining rose and vanilla flavoured Ceylon tea, grenadine and date syrup, or the \u2018Mint Blossom\u2019, a mix of green apple and lemon juice, agave and mint leaves. Both lounges will have tempting desserts available throughout the day like mafroukeh pistachio, katayef walnut, asifiri ashta, baklawa pistachio finger, sweet cashew kol w shkor, or passengers can take a stroll to the Emirates old-fashioned ice cream cart in the lounge to enjoy homemade Baklava and Arabic coffee ice cream, specially made for Eid celebrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
