Arabian Tales Unfold: Four Seasons Hotels Dubai Captures the Beauty of Local Lore

Thursday, February 15, 2024

Long before the Wright Brothers took to the skies, Abbas Ibn Firnas, a visionary from the Arabian Peninsula, soared into the annals of aviation history. This ingenious inventor from the 9th century undertook a remarkable glide across the skies of Yemen, notably over Jabal Al Arus, marking an early chapter in human flight. His designs for flying apparatuses were revolutionary, significantly influencing the field of aviation as it progressed into the 20th century. The intellectual contributions of Islamic and Arabian scholars, including the likes of Al Khawarizmi with his groundbreaking algebra, Ibn Battuta’s extensive explorations, Yemeni Sufis’ introduction of coffee, and Ibn Sina’s advancements in mental health care, have left indelible marks on the tapestry of global knowledge.

In a nod to this rich heritage, the Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach and Four Seasons Hotel DIFC are celebrating Ramadan with an array of experiences deeply rooted in tradition. These include Iftars that would do Ziryab proud, Suhoor under the storied night sky, and spa treatments that promise a desert oasis of tranquility.
