Moving on to the next kind deed done by them and was the Tenth year they did this. As part of its ongoing commitment to the Holy Month of Ramadan, Marriott International celebrated the tenth annual ‘Iftar for Cabs’ initiative at participating Marriott International hotels in the Middle East and Africa, including five properties in Bahrain.



During the hour of Iftar on Tuesday, May 14th , 2019, cab drivers who drove through the main entrance of any of the participating hotels received complimentary Iftar packs to break their fast.

Launched in 2010, the ‘Iftar for Cabs’ initiative has turned into an annual tradition for many cab

drivers throughout the region. The initiative has been widely appreciated by hotel owners, local

communities and transport authorities.

Catering teams at each hotel prepared Iftar packs, which included a diverse selection of food and

beverage items. Associates from across various departments within the hotels, including Catering,

Administration and Guest Services joined forces to bring the ‘Iftar for Cabs’ initiative to life. This

year participating Marriott International properties in Bahrain handed out over 170 Iftar packs to

cab drivers.

“We thank the cab drivers who support our hotels throughout the year. Iftar for Cabs embodies the

spirit of Ramadan and we are extremely proud of our hotel teams as they unite to give back and

recognise important members of our community,” said Guido De Wilde, Chief Operating Officer,

Middle East, Marriott International.
