AETOS Wire – Celebrating the spirit of giving and caring during the Holy Month of Ramadan, Al Zahia partnered with families at Sharjah’s premier lifestyle destination to express their appreciation to the community’s service providers for their exceptional work.
The families prepared a home-cooked Iftar buffet that was enjoyed with Al Zahia’s service providers and workers.
In line with the UAE’s Year of Tolerance, the initiative underlined Ramadan’s message about the importance of generosity while emphasising the sense of community at Al Zahia.
Founded on traditional values, Al Zahia promotes a wholesome lifestyle and encourages human interaction. Residents gather regularly to share great moments at family-friendly open air markets, meditation and fitness classes, and VOX Cinema movie nights in the park.
