2 June, 2013: The holy month of Ramadan is a chance to spend time with family and friends and to make this year’s Ramadan extra special, Six Senses Zighy Bay has created the Ramadan Kareem Package, which combines cultural activities and delicious cuisine for a memorable and authentic celebration.
Each day, prepare for fasting with breakfast in Spice Market, offering traditional Arabic cuisine and friendly hospitality. Chef’s recommendations include foul mdamas, mannakish with za’atar and akawai cheese from the daily chef’s live cooking station, and for a truly private and family affair, opt for Suhoor in your villa, with a selection of freshly prepared pastries, organic yoghurt and lavish selection of homemade mezzes brought to you in privacy.
Spend the day relaxing in your villa with family, each with its own private infinity pool, sun loungers and shaded outdoor living areas, or catch up on sleep in your cloud-like bed with choice of pillow from a dedicated menu to ensure maximum rest.
Enjoy complimentary access to tennis, pétanque and beach volleyball courts or envelope yourself in the rich turquoise waters of Zighy Bay and take advantage of the complimentary non-motorised water sports, such as kayaking.
After the sun has slipped away, you will be enticed to Spice Market by celebratory sounds and delightful smells of Iftar. Break your fast with the traditional three dates, grown in the resort, followed by a welcome array of traditional dishes from Omani harees, beetroot hummus bil lahm, koussa bil burgul with Omani salona or shua to a sweet selection including the infamous Omani halwa and umm Ali. “Sense of Flavours”, a three course weekly rotating menu, will be available throughout the holy month.
In the true spirit of Ramadan, gather with your family in the Ramadan tent located on the main beach to enjoy cultural activities including an Omani storyteller each Thursday evening telling tales of the history and beauty of Ramadan, traditional Omani oud player each Friday evening and daily homemade Ramadan desserts and a special selection of fruit juices and soft drinks available only for a limited time!
