The month of April brings us many moments of joy and to connect with each other. From Easter to Ramadan, our communities had lots to offer. Check out these events and keep an eye out for some great activities later this month!
From 23 March to 21 April, Muslims around the world are celebrating the holy month of Ramadan. Breaking the fast with friends and loved ones when the sun has set is a great way to connect with one another — but there are many unique Ramadan traditions from around the world. Most of them revolve around the themes of generosity, charity, and kinship.
On Thursday, 6 April our Doha Community enjoyed an Iftar event at the luxurious Four Seasons Doha. For them, it was a time for reflection, gratitude, and giving back to the community. The stunning venue was a great place to break the fast with like-minded expats and enjoy the traditional Ramadan atmosphere.
On Thursday, 13 April our Ambassadors of Lahore invited members of their community to an Iftar dinner. Our members gathered to share some delicious food and enjoy the beautiful outdoor setting together.
The members of our Tunis DinnerNations Group had their own Ramadan get-together. On Saturday, 15 April they enjoyed an after-Iftar dessert. They met up at La Marsa where they enjoyed a coffee with pistachio croissants or creamy chocolate cakes. The pastries made for many happy smiles!

Because of the seasonal association with early springtime blooms, April’s full moon is often called the “pink” moon. For our members in New Delhi this is a time for change, newness, and freshness. And they celebrated with a Pink Moon party! Of course, the dress code was summer casuals with lots of pink!
