Elevate Your Iftar Experience: Eco-Friendly Vibes Merge Tradition with Sustainability for a Better World during Ramadan

As a global hospitality brand, Hilton Garden Inn Muscat has a responsibility to lead the industry in the pursuit of sustainable solutions. We are delighted to embrace the holy month of Ramadan with the introduction of our sustainable Ramadan initiatives. Focused on promoting a harmonious blend of tradition and environmental responsibility, the initiative is designed to create a positive impact on the community through conscious choices and actions.

Key Highlights of  our Sustainable Ramadan Initiative:

Local Food Sourcing: Emphasizing the importance of supporting local communities, the Sustainable Ramadan Iftar initiative prioritizes the sourcing of ingredients from local farmers and producers. By doing so,

Hilton Garden Inn Muscat aims to strengthen regional economies, reduce carbon footprint, and offer fresher, seasonal ingredients for a healthier Iftar experience.

Promotion of Plant-Based Dishes: Recognizing the environmental and health benefits of a plant-based diet, the Sustainable Ramadan Iftar initiative encourages the inclusion of plant-based dishes in traditional

Iftar menus. This initiative aligns with Hilton's commitment to sustainability, contributing to lower greenhouse gas emissions and promoting a more compassionate approach to food consumption.

Wastage Reduction: In a concerted effort to minimize food wastage, Hilton Garden Inn Muscat has implemented strict measures across its Sustainable Ramadan Iftar operations. By accurately estimating quantities,

optimizing portion sizes, and collaborating with local charities, the initiative aims to reduce food wastage significantly, ensuring that every meal served contributes to the well-being of the community.

Plastic Usage Restrictions: Taking a stand against single-use plastics, Hilton Garden Inn Muscat is implementing comprehensive measures to restrict plastic usage throughout the Sustainable Ramadan Iftar initiative.

This commitment aligns with the organization's broader sustainability goals, contributing to the reduction of plastic pollution and fostering a cleaner environment.

Partnership with Food Banks:  Hilton Garden Inn Muscat is proud to announce strategic partnerships with local food bank-Oman Food Bank to further extend the impact of the Sustainable Ramadan Iftar initiative.

Surplus food from Iftar events will be donated to these food bank, supporting their efforts to address food insecurity and ensuring that the benefits of this initiative extend beyond the immediate community.

Ozge Yilmaz, General Manager of Hilton Garden Inn Muscat Al Khuwair commented, "The Sustainable  Ramadan Iftar initiative embodies our dedication to creating a Ramadan experience that is both meaningful

and sustainable. Through local sourcing, plant-based promotion, waste reduction, plastic-free operations, and collaboration with food bank, we hope to inspire positive change within our community and this initiative
