Sheraton Dubai Creek Hotel & Towers will play host to special Iftar cuisine in its Hatta banquet room and guests can expect a wholesome Arabic hospitality each evening as they break fast to a sumptuous feast.

Muslim and non-Muslim guests alike are welcome to start off the meal with a variety of dates and Arabic mezzeh including dips, olives, pickles and breads as appetizers.

In addition, the iftar spread will take on a different theme each night, allowing guests to enjoy traditional delicacies from 7 different countries. Hence, guests can come every day and there will still be surprises on the table.

Start the week on Sunday with Moroccan specialities, whilst Mondays feature Pakistani dishes and Tuesdays are Indonesian nights. As the weekend gets closer, Wednesday serves up authentic Egyptian Ramadan favourites whilst Thursdays offer a delicious spread of Arabic specialities from the Gulf region. On Fridays, be tempted with Iranian cuisine and Saturdays bring about Turkish delights.

To complete the feast, guests must not miss out on the traditional Arabic sweets and Ramadan beverages such as Katayef, Kunaffa, Umm Ali and much more.

In partnership with Unicef, the campaign involves a group of cyclists comprising of Starwood's senior management from the EAME divisional office to cycle over some of the most legendary climbs in the French Pyrenees for 3 days, covering 360 km from 4th to 6th September 2009.
