Service Description

Swahili Traditional Iftar — Zanzibar’s Most Exclusive Ramadan Experience. Have you ever dreamed of experiencing a place like a local, during its most sacred moments? Here’s your chance. Step inside a Zanzibari home, break fast with the Mamas, and taste sacred Ramadan dishes crafted only for this holy season. This is Zanzibar as few ever get to see it — intimate, authentic, and unforgettable. Designed by Maskat, this experience goes far beyond a typical travel destination. Her vision is to give every guest more than sightseeing — a chance to feel like a human, connect deeply with the people of Zanzibar, and share a dinner filled with love, peace, and gratitude. Maskat’s devotion ensures every visitor experiences the warmth, generosity, and heritage of the island in its most sacred month. Each element of the evening — from market exploration to the Iftar feast — is thoughtfully crafted to celebrate Zanzibar’s culture, faith, and culinary heritage.

The Swahili Traditional Iftar is more than a meal — it’s a rare invitation to experience Ramadan from the heart of a Zanzibari home, a moment of intimacy and authenticity few travelers ever witness. Taste dishes prepared with care and centuries of tradition: coconut stews, fragrant spices, slow-simmered broths, handmade breads, and festive sweets. These ceremonial recipes exist only during Ramadhan, offering a window into Zanzibar’s rich coastal heritage and the artistry of Swahili-Islamic gastronomy. Break the fast alongside the Mamas and their community, sharing the warmth of true Zanzibari hospitality. Every dish tells a story of faith, resilience, and generosity — and every bite is an invitation into the authenticity of the island. By joining, you also support women-led initiatives and local families, helping preserve these treasured culinary and cultural traditions. This experience is Maskat’s way of showing that travel can be more than sightseeing — it can be human, connected, and transformative. Guests leave with a deeper understanding of Zanzibar,
