With a capacity exceeding 600 individuals, this initiative exemplifies the Group’s steadfast dedication to community welfare.
Additionally, in collaboration with the Dubai Community Development Authority (DCDA), Al Habtoor Group is facilitating weddings for residents of Al Lisaili through the ‘Dubai Weddings’ program at the Habtoor Grand Hotel in Jumeirah. This partnership aims to ensure that scheduled ceremonies proceed without interruption despite the recent weather disruptions.
Expressing solidarity with affected families, Khalaf Al Habtoor emphasized the paramount importance of restoring stability and normalcy to their lives swiftly.
