Ramadan is a time for reflection, togetherness, and a dash of culinary traditions. Destinations across the UAE light up to mark the Holy Month, but Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island is taking its festivities up a notch with a series of unbeatable offers. Whether you're looking for a grand spread for iftar, a serene suhoor, or a way to give back to the community, the resort has plenty to offer.
If you're looking to indulge in a grand iftar while also taking care of your pocket, Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island is here to help. This year, it's offering an exclusive 50 per cent discount voucher which you can redeem on iftar within the first seven days of Ramadan. But here's the catch: you have until 20 February to purchase these vouchers. Make sure you check with the hotel before you leave to ensure that your dining experience is stress-free.
The iftar buffet at Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island is a true celebration of flavours and tradition. This rotating menu features a feast that includes Chicken Biryani, Grilled Lamb Kofta, Lamb Ouzi and Shrimp Moghrabieh. Live-action stations will be serving Arabic Mixed Grill and Chicken Shawarma, and for desserts, you can indulge in Kunefe, Mango Mohallabia, and Umm Ali. Available throughout Ramadan, from sunset to 9pm. AED 160 for adults and AED 80 for children aged six to 12.
If you're looking for a peaceful suhoor, Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island's Neo Sky Bar is the place to be. With 360-degree panoramic views of the island and a specially curated menu, this venue offers the perfect setting for late-night bites. For those staying at the hotel, Neo Sky Bar also offers a set menu in which to indulge. Available throughout Ramadan, from 9pm to 1am.
Ramadan is the season of giving, and Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island is staying true to this ethos by hosting its first-ever Charity Iftar. Taking place during the first week of Ramadan, you can choose the Charity Iftar seating, which will ensure that 100 per cent of the proceeds will be donated to the Sheikh Saud Bin Saqr Charitable Educational Foundation. This foundation will use these funds to support underprivileged communities through education and inclusive initiatives.
Beyond the Charity Iftar, Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island will also be distributing food packages to taxi drivers in Ras Al Khaimah. This will be done every Friday — as it has for the past two years — spreading kindness and compassion during the Holy Month.
So, if you're looking for a place to gather with your loved ones or want to give back this Ramadan, Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island is ready to make your experience unforgettable.

Lara Trump's music career explained, from French Montana to Mohamed Ramadan

is making the most of his US appearances this year. Fresh from his Coachella festival debut in April, the Egyptian pop star posted a picture of himself with Lara Trump – the former Fox News host turned budding musician and daughter-in-law of US President Donald Trump. The occasion was a New York gala called Make Music Right, an organisation that, according to its website, focuses on "enlightening Americans on music's role in shaping perspectives and promoting a music culture that upholds traditional values and elevates American society". While Trump was a keynote speaker and Ramadan a guest, the latter suggested their meeting was more than a networking opportunity. He hinted at a possible musical collaboration, posting: "Something great is on the horizon, inshallah". The potential release raises questions about who would benefit most. After dominating Arab pop charts for more than a decade, Ramadan has been making a concerted effort to expand his brand internationally, with performances across Africa, in addition to his Coachella appearance. As for Trump, working with Ramadan wouldn't be entirely out of tune. The former television presenter has already released a single with Moroccan-American rapper French Montana this year as part of a two-year music catalogue that many are only now discovering. Here are three things you need to know about her unlikely music career. 1. She began with a hit cover of Tom Petty tune Even Trump herself wasn't sure if a music career was on the cards when releasing her debut single, I Won't Back Down, in 2023, a cover of the 1989 Tom Petty hit. A more languid take on the original, with Trump's huskier vocals pitched in a lower register, she promoted the track on Fox & Friends by explaining it "was something I wanted to do for fun. I recorded it over the winter and thought, let's put it out and see what happens." It turned out to be fortuitous. The song – released without a label – cracked the top 10 of Billboard's Digital Song Sales chart and reached sixth place on the country chart. What perhaps made the success even sweeter was that the original I Won't Back Down had been used by President Trump during his unsuccessful 2020 re-election campaign, prompting the Petty estate to issue a public cease-and-desist notice. 2. She then turned towards inspirational country-pop Trump announced herself as an artist last year with two original works, both styled as inspirational anthems and following a country-pop template. First up was Anything Is Possible, followed by Hero, the latter a plaintive piano ballad co-written with up-and-coming country singer Madeline Jaymes and dedicated to US emergency services personnel. The gracious sentiments didn't shield either song from critical reception on social media, where listeners noted the heavy-handed use of auto-tune on Trump's vocals – particularly jarring in a genre historically prizing vocal authenticity. 3. And now she has gone full pop with the help of French Montana A brash musical left turn and one of the most unexpected collaborations of the year, Trump teamed up with French Montana on No Days Off, a slick electro-pop track in which Trump projects a more assertive persona. "I'm a little hard to read / You only know what they show you when you turn on the TV / So think of this as a reboot," she delivers in clipped phrases. Montana eventually chimes in, boasting of his new friendship: "Me and Lara at your front porch, knock knock". No Days Off failed to gain traction, and a reported future collaboration with Gims was denied by the French-Congolese rapper himself. If a potential song with Ramadan materialises, it could follow this template of unlikely cross-cultural partnerships. Whatever happens next, more music appears inevitable. According to Newsweek, she incorporated the business LT Music LLC in April, suggesting her musical ambitions remain undimmed for the time being.
