Jeddah InterContinental has readied itself to serve its guests for iftar and sahoor. “During this year’s Ramadan, the hotel will offer 14 live cooking stations and different flavors of ice-cream,” Ojvind Leth Karlsen, executive chef at Jeddah InterContinental, told Arab News.

“We are transforming our whole area into a smoking grilled area for fresh and hot barbeque as grilled food always tastes better if served hot and fresh,” he added. One other attraction this time is live bread making. “We think we are the only one in Jeddah offering Sushi during the holy month,” he said.

InterContinental will have a daily raffle draw with 10 to 15 gifts, including a luxury car, airline tickets, watches, perfumes and gold jewelry. Iftar will be served at the hotel’s Tea Garden, Lee Cafe and Al Ferdaus restaurant.
