Seven extraordinary iftars and suhoors to try in Abu Dhabi

Amazing experiences to share with loved ones this Ramadan

  • Arabic

Ramadan is always a wonderful way of connecting with others, spending quality time with loved ones, particularly in the evenings around the dinner table. To help make the holy month even more special, this year, the Department of Culture and Tourism — Abu Dhabi has created a host of unique experiences for iftar and suhoor.

For animal lovers, fans of architecture or those simply looking for something a bit out of the ordinary, there is something for everyone.

Iftar with lions at Al Ain Zoo

Al Ain Zoo is offering a unique opportunity to enjoy iftar alongside its lions. The evening starts at 5.30pm with a sunset tour by Al Ain Safari that takes visitors around the zoo before delivering guests to the iftar, set up next to the lions enclosure. A set menu is on offer and available to those over the age of 12, and for groups of four to 12 people. Reservations must be made at least 48 hours in advance.

The evening wraps at 8pm and is priced at Dh840 ($228).

If lions sound too ferocious, why not enjoy an evening with giraffes instead, thanks to Emirates Park Zoo. It is offering a two-hour iftar experience from 6.30pm, giving visitors the opportunity to not only admire these creatures up close, but also feed the gentle herbivores.

It's open to groups of up to five people and it also grants full-day access to the zoo, for those who want to make a day of it, as well as a complimentary environmental tour guide and an African drumming experience.

There's also the option to break your fast with elephants instead. At 6.30pm every evening, there is a set menu iftar available in the elephant area. The experience comes with an educational talk about these fascinating pachyderms, and even a chance to interact with, and feed, them.

Up to 12 people can get involved and, as with the giraffe experience, the ticket also provides full-day access to the zoo and an African drumming session.

Iftar with giraffes costs Dh1,785 per group of five people, while iftar with elephants can be enjoyed for Dh250 per person, for a maximum of 12 people.

Three ways to boost your credit score

Marwan Lutfi says the core fundamentals that drive better payment behaviour and can improve your credit score are:

1. Make sure you make your payments on time;

2. Limit the number of products you borrow on: the more loans and credit cards you have, the more it will affect your credit score;

3. Don't max out all your debts: how much you maximise those credit facilities will have an impact. If you have five credit cards and utilise 90 per cent of that credit, it will negatively affect your score.

The panel’s 2017 report followed a trail to West Africa where large sums of cash and gold were hidden by Abdullah Al Senussi, Qaddafi’s former intelligence chief, in 2011.

How to avoid crypto fraud
  • Use unique usernames and passwords while enabling multi-factor authentication.
  • Use an offline private key, a physical device that requires manual activation, whenever you access your wallet.
  • Avoid suspicious social media ads promoting fraudulent schemes.
  • Only invest in crypto projects that you fully understand.
  • Critically assess whether a project’s promises or returns seem too good to be true.
  • Only use reputable platforms that have a track record of strong regulatory compliance.
  • Store funds in hardware wallets as opposed to online exchanges.
What can victims do?

Sugary teas and iced coffees

The tax authority is yet to release a list of the taxed products, but it appears likely that sugary iced teas and cold coffees will be hit.

For instance, the non-fizzy drink AriZona Iced Tea contains 65 grams of sugar – about 16 teaspoons – per 680ml can. The average can costs about Dh6, which would rise to Dh9.

Cold coffee brands are likely to be hit too. Drinks such as Starbucks Bottled Mocha Frappuccino contain 31g of sugar in 270ml, while Nescafe Mocha in a can contains 15.6g of sugar in a 240ml can.
