Hilton hotels in Ras Al Khaimah celebrated Hilton’s Annual Global Month of Service by volunteering with RAK Public Works and RAK Autism Centre.
Hilton Ras Al Khaimah Resort & Spa, Hilton Al Hamra Beach & Golf Resort, Al Hamra Residence and Village hotels, Waldorf Astoria Ras Al Khaimah, DoubleTree by Hilton Resort & Spa Marjan Island and DoubleTree by Hilton Ras Al Khaimah were involved in the projects.
The first project was a cleanup around Sheikh Saqr Palace, the former ruler’s home and one of the oldest buildings within the community. Over 100 hotel team members worked with the Ras Al Khaimah’s Public Works Department to clear refuse from the location. Within four hours, the teams cleared more than 31 tonnes of waste that was then disposed of correctly by the Public Works Department.

The second project focused on the Ras Al Khaimah Autism Centre, a non-profit organisation that opened in 2006. The Hilton colleagues interacted with the children, and then completed engineering works to provide a working swimming pool, supplying equipment for the centre’s gym and cleaning the centre and it gardens.
Mahmoud Mokhtar, country manager, Ras Al Khaimah, said in a statement: "We are delighted to have partnered with RAK Public Works and RAK Autism Centre for Global Month of Service. Our aim was for Hilton team members to impact their local community through volunteer projects. We are pleased to have helped clean up the area under Sheikh Saqr Palace, and to have had the chance to work with children at the RAK Autism Centre."
