Spending Ramadan in Abu Dhabi? Whether you are hosting a big iftar for a large group or inviting a few close friends over for an intimate suhoor, lighting a flying lantern and setting it free into the night sky will be something that your guests and family will remember forever.

UAE-based company Glow Skies sell glowing lanterns in a variety of shapes and sizes. Simply light the wick and let them float up and away. We recommend taking the lanterns down to the beach at night, so that you can watch them travelling gracefully for miles over the sea, before finally vanishing like a distant star.

We also love the company’s Floating Lanterns. Shaped like lily flowers, the lanterns are designed to float on a pool to dance in the evening breeze and create an enchanting glow. They cost 220 AED for a box of eight.
