How long does Iftar Together take, and when does it start?

Transport (AED 650 per 50-seat coach — add if required); Alcohol (not served at any iftar event under any circumstances); Videography (see add-ons); Suhoor extension (see add-ons); 5% VAT. These are stated before enquiry rather than raised at invoice time.

What happens to Iftar Together if the weather turns?

Trigger: For tented or outdoor setups — rain or wind above 20 knots. Indoor venues carry no weather risk. Fallback: Indoor venue held as standard for any outdoor booking. The timing cannot move — maghrib is fixed, so a delay is not an option. Any fallback has to work within the same hour. You are told: No later than 12:00 on the event day.

Why this is not the retail version

A hotel iftar buffet seat sells at AED 150–300. Your team sits among the public, at scattered tables, with no prayer provision and nothing that marks it as a company occasion.

Here the space is yours, in majlis seating so people face each other rather than a buffet line, with a proper prayer area, traditional entertainment and gifting at every place. Fasting and non-fasting colleagues break bread at the same moment.

This is the highest-goodwill package in the catalog. For a workforce that is substantially Muslim, a company that hosts iftar well earns something that no team-building exercise buys. HR knows this, which is why the budget is rarely questioned.
