    Masafi's traditional Ramadan beverage Qamaruldeen.
Masafi had pioneered the launch of the ready-to-drink Qamaruldeen juice during Ramadan in 2006 and has witnessed an exceptional consumer acceptance over the last two years. Significant consumer interest and acceptance saw its sales grow by an impressive 18% in 2007 compared to 2006.

Qamaruldeen, a limited edition from Masafi available all across UAE and selected Arab countries, offers consumers a unique combination of great taste and wholesome nutrition during the Iftar. Qamaruldeen is available in 2L bottles with an innovative and unique design to convey local values and the spirit of Ramadan.

Qamaruldeen is derived from 100% pure natural Apricots and is the perfect start for Iftar as it produces enough sugar rush to get the digestive system working, thereby soothing jumpy nerves. It also plays a pivotal role in regulating metabolism and is packed with vitamins A, B and C as well as calcium, iron, potassium and phosphorous.

In his comments, Mr. Ashraf Abushady, Chief Executive Officer of Masafi, said:
"This Ramadan, we are happy to gift our valued customers with the season's traditional offering - Qamaruldeen. The re-launch of Qamaruldeen during the Holy Month follows the unprecedented success of the beverage over the last two years. The launch of Qamaruldeen demonstrates Masafi's commitment to address the needs and special preferences of our consumers."


Masafi Juice, which contains no preservatives, was the first in the Middle East to introduce the 'hot fill' technology that enables retaining the juice's distinct freshness for the period it is stored. The bottles are recyclable, thereby making them environment friendly.

Masafi has successfully retained its market leadership in the UAE mineral water segment with more than 40% share. The company exports approximately 30% of its product portfolio to different countries. The major importers are Japan, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Afghanistan and Djibouti. The company also exports to Germany, UK, Australia, Taiwan, Pakistan, Morocco, Yemen, Sudan, Bangladesh and the Ivory Coast, among others.
