Quick answer: Ramadan 2027 is expected to begin around 8 February 2027. UAE companies typically spend AED 60 to AED 350 per gift on premium date boxes. Tamooriya delivers its own ready-made gift boxes anywhere in the UAE within 2 working days, and fully customised boxes in your company colours within 10 working days, with a minimum of 50 boxes for customisation.
Why dates are the default Ramadan corporate gift in the UAE
Dates are what people break their fast with, so a box of Ajwa or Medjool is used on the very first evening rather than left on a shelf. They suit every diet and culture, carry no awkwardness around alcohol or allergens, and present beautifully. For government entities, banks, developers and hospitality groups in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, a dates box has become the safe, respected choice.
The box is remembered for a day. The dates are remembered for the month.
Most corporate gifting suppliers compete on packaging: heavier boxes, bigger ribbons, shinier logos. Tamooriya takes the opposite view. Nobody eats the box. What a client or colleague actually remembers is the first date they bite into at iftar, and whether it was soft, fresh and genuinely from Madinah or dry supermarket stock in a beautiful wrapper. So we put the budget inside the box: 2026-harvest dates taken from the farm straight into cold storage below 5 °C and packed only when your order is confirmed. The packaging is elegant and can carry your brand, but the reputation you send is built on what is inside it.

What to put in the box
Ajwa from Madinah is the most meaningful choice for Ramadan. Palestinian Medjool is the most universally loved. Sukkari suits large staff gifts because it is sweet, soft and economical. A mixed box of four to six varieties gives recipients something to compare and talk about. Stuffed dates with pistachio, walnut or orange peel add a gourmet touch for executive tiers.
