El Behi has almost 20 years of experience in the hospitality industry, and joined the hotel as executive assistant manager in June 2011. Previous to Ramada, he worked with Auris as director of business development since March 2010.

He has also been in various management positions with Coral Hotels & Resorts, including being executive assistant manager of Coral Deira Dubai, general manager at Coral Boutique Villas and also regional director of sales and marketing.

El Behi said: “I would like to thank our owning company and Ramada International for entrusting me with this responsibility. I am very proud to be associated with Ramada Downtown Dubai because the brand sells for itself.

“Our customer-oriented approach, prime location, first-class facilities and dedicated team are the key in achieving our target to be the leading hotel in the downtown area. With the support of my team, we will continue to generate more promotions to target a wider share of the market such as corporate accounts, diplomatic groups and exhibitors.”
