In line with the vision of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, the Championship is being organized to create global awareness about the UAE’s traditional cuisine as well as its long-established hospitality. It is indeed a great honor for us to announce that we have successfully organized the highest catering service in the world. Serving to 15,000 guests at the 124rd floor of Burj Khalifa is a remarkable achievement for Za’abeel Palace Hospitality, DWHC and the UAE. We are confident that we will continue to create many more such benchmarks during the DWHC 2014.”

The Burj Khalifa played a very important role in cooperating with DWHC to provide hospitality for more than 15,000 visitors while Dubai Mall also played a prominent role in hosting two platforms to provide Emirati hospitality to visitors.
“We have planned a series of activities to promote DWHC 2014 that included the catering service at the 124rd floor of Burj Khalifa and Dubai International Airport. We were extremely happy to offer a taste of traditional Emirati desserts and a glimpse of experience rich Arabic hospitality while creating a world record. It is a daunting task to cater to such a huge number of people over a period of three days at the 124rd floor because of several issues including logistics. We overcame all our challenges because of our perseverance and our biggest reward is the tremendous appreciation and encouragement received from the visitors of Burj Khalifa. This activity will run until the 28th of October 2014.” concluded Hamad Alghafri, Public Relations Manager at DWHC.
