Break your fast this Ramadan at Dubai Opera’s musical iftar



The iftars across the UAE are aplenty during Ramadan but one that may strike people’s fancy this year is being ‘staged’ at Dubai Opera.

This year you can break your fast in the auditorium which is being transformed into a banquet hall from June 14-25.

Guests can break their fast in what is being described as a magical setting and five-star food offerings. The meal will be accompanied by classical and Arabic melodies from Dubai Opera’s musical trio on harp, flute and percussion.

The iftar will be held from sunset to 9.30pm and costs Dh250 per person or Dh220 for group bookings or 11 or more. Children under 6 are free and those between 6 and 11 will eat for Dh125.
