Corporate iftars

The season of Ramadan inspires corporate events with a unique cultural twist. The holy month of Ramadan is a special time in the Middle East. For Muslims, it is marked by heightened prayer and piety, and the daily fasts from sunrise to sunset. The meal that breaks the fast at sunset is called iftar and this is usually a large feast celebrated with friends and family.

Sharing this seasonal tradition with business associates has become customary with corporate group iftars offering a pleasant setting for professional and cultural exchange. Many of the hotels in Dubai have embraced this tradition and set up elaborate Ramadan tents with sophisticated interiors, serving a buffet of customary culinary delights, Arabic shisha and a traditional atmosphere for groups, including non-Muslims, to participate in the ritual. meetme looks at some of the impressive venues in Dubai that hosted social and corporate iftars.
