Speaking on the occasion, Gerard Hotelier, vice president operations of Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts Middle East & South Asia, said: “At Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts, we are dedicated to give back to the community where we operate, and there is no better time than the holy month of Ramadan to create this moment of generosity. We are delighted to host these special guests and share the true spirit of Ramadan with them.”

Jonathan Bergstrom, project director of Action Care, thanked Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts for being a part of their “Gift of Giving” initiative, under which Iftar events are held for orphans, individuals with special needs, underprivileged children and families throughout the UAE.
