ART Rotana partners with Amwaj Islands to provide food to the less fortunate

In the spirit of Ramadan, and giving back to the community, ART Rotana, the luxury hotel resort located in Amwaj Islands, joined forces with the Amwaj Islands Management to launch a food-drive in support of the less fortunate. Employees from both companies joined hands and helped prepare and distribute 250 meals to the nearby labour camps.

“The holy month of Ramadan is very unique in that it reminds us that we need to be mindful of the less fortunate and offer a helping hand, wherever one is needed. The food drive was an important initiative for our team to connect with the community and help make a small difference in someone’s day. It was a great opportunity to work with the Amwaj Islands team on this project”, said Patrice Cornee, Resident Manager at ART Rotana.
