A solemn evening at Sheraton Dammam

The clock struck 8:30 p.m. and the lights went off. For a full hour, Sheraton Dammam observed its annual Earth Hour and joined the global community in the largest environmental movement to protect the one thing that unites us all — planet Earth.
Sheraton Dammam took this unique opportunity to become more sustainable and do something positive for the environment.
“It’s not just about saving energy for one hour; it’s about going Beyond the Hour with lasting, behavior changing actions for a sustainable planet,” said Riaz, GM of Sheraton Dammam.
The entire lobby was transformed into a solemn evening as candle lights were lighted by guests and associates, sharing a moment of sincere concern for our mother earth.
Restaurant diners welcomed the movement as they dined in a mellow ambience with Earth Hour videos playing on screens.
For safety reasons, not all lights could be switched off so some areas were dimmed. Sheraton Dammam has a dedicated team of associates who are taking steps toward a cleaner, safer future.
“Earth Hour is a global effort to emphasize the threat of global warming and the need to reduce carbon emissions. It has become a powerful symbol that all of our ‘small steps’ can have an impactful and lasting difference on the health of our planet,” said Sherif Ramzy.
