Emirates offers attractive Ramadan packages

From 23rd Sept to 23rd Oct 2006, passengers travelling to Dubai can enjoy a two-night stay with buffet breakfast at a choice of six select properties in the city. Additional nights can be purchased but must begin and end within the validity of the offer. The packages are available worldwide to all passengers regardless of class of travel.

The packages include hotel accommodation on bed and breakfast basis (for those not fasting), all taxes and service charges, airport assistance upon arrival at Dubai International Airport and return transfers from the airport to your hotel by a private car.

Passengers will also receive an Arabian Adventures Welcome Pack with a Privilege Discount Card which offers special rates and discounts at numerous shops and restaurants around Dubai.

The packages, not valid for groups, can be booked on availability only and all inbound and outbound flights into/out of Dubai must be on Emirates.

Ghaith Al Ghaith, Executive Vice President Commercial Operations Worldwide, said: "Ramadan is a time to celebrate with family and loved ones, and Dubai is a destination of choice during this special period. We are pleased to offer these excellent packages to our valued customers in the Gulf and Middle East region during this Holy Month. It gives everyone a chance to enjoy a short break and take advantage of some great shopping offers too."

The number of visitors to the city is growing year on year and with new attractions like Ski Dubai and world-class malls dotting the city, this figure is bound to grow. Moreover, Dubai is rated as one of the safest places to holiday with plenty of fun and bargain shopping on offer.
