A number of Jumeirah Group hotels in Dubai and around the world, including the Burj Al Arab and Madinat Jumeirah, will go pink in October to mark Breast Cancer Awareness month.
On 1 October, Burj Al Arab will once again turn pink to join a number of world famous landmarks participating in the Estée Lauder Companies’ Global Landmarks Illumination Initiative. The hotel will show its continuous support for the campaign by lighting its sail in pink and adorning it with a symbolic pink ribbon projection on October 1 and 31 from 08:00pm to 11:00pm.
The hotels's executive pastry chef, Johannes Bonin, has created a selection of pastries including yuzu and raspberry opera cake, strawberry sweet puff and pink-glazed traditional French mille feuilles to serve as part of the afternoon tea.
