UAE residents take ‘Ramadan-cations’ as retreats offer iftar, suhoor with overnight stays

Resorts and desert retreats across the UAE residents have rolled out special overnight packages combining iftar, suhoor and accommodation, as Ramadan nights take on a more experience-led approach this year. The hospitality sector is calling this emerging trend a ‘Ramadan-cation’.

From desert landscapes in Sharjah to mountain escapes in Hatta and family-focused resorts in Dubai, hotels are introducing Ramadan stays designed to offer residents a more reflective way to spend evenings during the holy month.

One such experience comes from Mleiha National Park, which has launched its Ramadan Star Lounge, allowing guests to break their fast under open desert skies before staying overnight at a campsite surrounded by dunes and rocky ridges.

The experience includes traditional iftar meals, suhoor and overnight desert camping, offering visitors a chance to spend Ramadan nights away from the city while enjoying stargazing in a quiet natural setting.

A similar offering is available in Hatta, where JA Hatta Fort Hotel has introduced Ramadan mountain stay packages throughout the holy month. The retreat includes overnight accommodation along with iftar and suhoor dining, outdoor experiences and guided sunrise activities set against the Hajar Mountains. Guests can choose outdoor communal iftars or opt for in-room suhoor, turning the stay into a relaxed overnight escape.

Operators said Ramadan stays are increasingly being designed around shared experiences rather than traditional leisure travel, with emphasis on family time, reflection and late-night gatherings that continue until suhoor.

LEGOLAND Dubai Resort has also launched a Ramadan stay-and-play package starting from Dh199 per person, combining accommodation with access to theme park attractions alongside seasonal Ramadan and Eid activities.
