According to Jean-Pierre Simon, regional general manager, Northern UAE for Coral Hotels & Resorts, the evening will not only offer opportunities for guests and management to relax and come together in the spirit of Ramadan, it will also provide a novel insight into Arabic culture.

“Dedra Stevenson has created a unique perspective on Arabic folklore and we are delighted to be able to bring a taste of this to our Iftar celebration as a special treat for our valued clients and media,” he said.

“During the Holy Month of Ramadan, our menu of Iftar and Suhoor packages has been designed to offer something for everyone, with exceptional value buffets, Arabic entertainment and a beachfront location … but this is an evening with a difference.”
