Emirati welcome for passengers at Abu Dhabi airport

Three tents have been set up for fasting travellers to break their fast at Iftar in each of the airport terminals.

Harib Ghannam Al Hameli, Vice President Abu Dhabi International Airport, said the Abu Dhabi Airports Company (ADAC) is providing passengers at the airport with an opportunity to learn about the traditions associated with this religious month. “Three Ramadan tents are in the airport, with one in every terminal. Each tent can accommodate 30 people at a time,” he said.

He said foreign passengers are delighted to learn about the Islamic culture and heritage as they visit the tents, where they are greeted with the warm hospitality that epitomises Emirati culture, and enjoy eating Arabian dates and coffee, that are being distributed to travellers and airport staff alike.

A special entertainment programme is being performed for the young travellers, who will be received by ‘Freej’ characters at Terminal 1 during the holy month.

Other activities include traditional dance, henna painting and more. Special souvenirs and gifts are being distributed to travellers to celebrate the arrival of the holy season as well.

“We are delighted to set up the Ramadan tents to Abu Dhabi International Airport for the third consecutive 
year. It is a pleasure to share our 
Emirati culture and heritage at such a special time with our passengers of various nationalities and different cultural backgrounds. In the spirit 
of Ramadan, we will continue to offer 
the warmest Emirati hospitality at 
the airport for the whole month,” 
he added. – lily@kahleejtimes.com
