Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 28th July 2011: Riyadh’s leading ultra-

splendid Arabesque surroundings of Fawanees, is expected to welcome
more than 20,000 guests for Iftar during the month of August, to
break the fast and relax in style and comfort.

Peter Finamore, Managing Director of Al Faisaliah Hotel said: “Al
Faisaliah Hotel is honoured to have established a tradition that
resonates with our Riyadh community as strongly as Fawanees
does. With a feast for the senses at every turn, Fawanees offers a
spectacular setting, unrivalled personalised service and a range of
gourmet cuisine that knows no match in the city.”

Iftar menus created by the hotel’s celebrated chefs cater to every
culinary taste and preference. Choices include the finest traditional
Arabian fare – Tunisian harissa soup Moroccan tagines, kebbeh bel
laban and Saudi Arabia’s celebrated lamb kabsa, as well as an array
of international dishes from almost every corner of the globe. Live
cooking stations offer the freshest and finest selection of meats and
seafood, and a buffet selection that includes hot and cold mezze,
salads and shawarmas ensures the most discerning palates will be
satisfied.

Adding to the atmosphere of celebration, key sponsor STC will also be
giving away a number of valuable surprise gifts every evening during
Ramadan to lucky guests in Fawanees.

”Al Faisaliah is offering the finest in comfort and cuisine from sundown
until the early hours of the morning, there is truly no better place to
enjoy Ramadan celebrations in Riyadh,” said Mr Finamore.
