How much does Suhoor Majlis cost per person?

AED 530 per person for 30–59 people; AED 470 per person for 60–99 people; AED 420 per person for 100+ people. All figures exclude 5% VAT. A group below a band's minimum chargeable size is billed at that minimum: 42 people in the 30–59 band. Where a larger band costs less in total, it is quoted instead: groups of 54–59 are billed as 60 people at the rate for 60–99 people; groups of 90–99 are billed as 100 people at the rate for 100+ people.

How long does Suhoor Majlis take, and when does it start?

3 hrs. Ideal start: 22:30 — after taraweeh, before suhoor proper. Departure window: 22:00–23:30.

What is not included in Suhoor Majlis?

Alcohol — not served at any Ramadan event we run; Shisha (see add-ons, licensed venues only); Transport; 5% VAT. These are stated before enquiry rather than raised at invoice time.

What happens to Suhoor Majlis if the weather turns?

Trigger: Rain or wind above 25 knots — the majlis is a tented outdoor build. Fallback: Every contracted venue for this package holds an indoor function room of the same capacity, and the majlis build is designed to transfer — carpets, floor seating and lanterns go indoors in under two hours. This is a condition of the venue contract, not a per-booking check. You are told: By 14:00 on the day, before the outdoor build commits.

Why this is not the retail version

The comparison is our own I-02 Iftar Together at AED 440 — the corporate iftar, and the right package for most companies in most years. This exists because an iftar and a suhoor are different events that happen to fall in the same month.

At an iftar, everybody has been fasting for fourteen hours. The first forty minutes are people eating, and the room does not talk properly until the plates go. It is a good event and it is not a conversational one.

A suhoor at half past ten is the opposite. Nobody is hungry, nobody is in a rush, and the format is built for it — floor seating with no stage, no seating plan and no top table. Two hundred years of majlis design says that a room where everyone sits at the same height talks differently, and that is the entire product.

The practical argument is the calendar. Ramadan working hours end early and the evenings are committed to family and prayer. A company trying to put an event in that month is competing with both. A 22:30 start competes with neither — and for a workforce that is fasting, being asked to do something at eleven at night is considerably more welcome than being asked to do it at six.

Sell both. A company can run an iftar for the whole business and a suhoor for a department in the same Ramadan, and the second is not a substitute for the first.
