Earth Hour took place on Saturday 22nd March from 8:30pm-9:30pm. This global event marks the commitment to the environment and pledging to make a difference, no matter how small.
Our partner, Anantara World Islands Dubai Resort, marked their commitment by switching off all non-essential lights across the property. 🚲The team beautifully designed and created Earth Hour signage that was placed on the property and lit up using bicycle-powered energy. This was available for the guests to power up too!
