IHG One Rewards has released a specific regional package titled “Discover Beyond,” designed primarily for travelers observing Ramadan or performing Umrah in early 2026.
Unlike standard percentage-off sales, this is a “value-add” offer that bundles two major meals into your daily rate at participating hotels 100+ destinations in Saudi Arabia and the Middle East, and some other countries in Asia.
You can view and book the offer on the promotion page here.
The promotion focuses on providing convenience for fasting guests by including the two main meals of the day—Iftar (sunset meal) and Suhoor (pre-dawn meal)—in the room rate.
- Inclusions: Daily Iftar and Suhoor. If a buffet isn’t available, a set menu is provided.
- Booking Window: December 15, 2025 to March 18, 2026.
- Stay Window: February 19, 2026 to March 18, 2026.
- Participating Regions: Algeria, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, Oman, Qatar, Singapore, Tanzania, Turkey, UAE, and Uzbekistan.
- Flexibility: No deposit is required at booking. You can cancel up to one day before arrival.
Good to Know
- Meal Substitution: The terms explicitly state that Suhoor is served in place of breakfast and Iftar in place of dinner. These can be in-room or at a restaurant depending on the property.
- Kids Policy: Children up to age 12 may be charged extra for bedding or meals, and anyone 12 or older is considered an adult for billing purposes.
- Minimum Stay: A minimum stay of 1 night is required.
- Payment: While no deposit is needed to book, a deposit for the first night is due 24 hours before check-in.
Is It Worth It?
This offer is less about “saving money” in the traditional sense and more about price certainty and convenience.
Dining at hotels in the Middle East (especially in hubs like Dubai, Makkah, or Doha) can be expensive. If you know you will be dining at the hotel for both Iftar and Suhoor anyway, bundling these into the rate is often cheaper than paying the “Room Only” rate and adding meals later.
However, the real star here is the flexibility. Most hotel sales that include meals or deep discounts are “Advance Purchase” (non-refundable). This rate allows you to typically cancel up to 24 hours prior, which is valuable if your travel plans are subject to change.
Verdict: Book this if you want the convenience of guaranteed meals during Ramadan without locking yourself into a non-refundable reservation. If you plan to eat out, a standard flexible rate might be cheaper.
Bottom Line
IHG’s “Discover Beyond” is a niche but useful package for travelers in the Middle East and Asia during Ramadan 2026. You get Iftar and Suhoor included with the safety net of a 24-hour cancellation policy.
