Dubai Gold Souk Extension Launches ‘Souk of Giving’ to Support Drivers This Ramadan

In celebration of the Holy Month of Ramadan, the Dubai Gold Souk Extension has launched the ‘Souk of Giving’, an annual initiative recognizing Dubai’s taxi and tour bus drivers for their essential contributions to the city.

Running from 10 to 25 March 2025, the initiative provides complimentary Iftar packages to these drivers, acknowledging their role in connecting visitors and residents to one of Dubai’s most iconic trade hubs.

Each evening, drivers can collect their Iftar meals from the Dubai Gold Souk Extension information desk by presenting a valid RTA or official tour operator ID. More than just a meal, this initiative embodies Ramadan’s values of generosity and hospitality, ensuring that those working tirelessly during the holy month are recognized and supported. On the very first day, over 100 drivers participated, reinforcing the initiative’s impact and commitment to community support.

Rashid Al Harmoodi, Senior Director of Property Management, Ithra Dubai, emphasized the initiative’s alignment with the UAE’s broader community vision:

"The ‘Souk of Giving’ initiative reflects the UAE leadership’s vision of a strong and united community, as championed through this year’s national initiative, the 'Year of Community.' At the Dubai Gold Souk Extension, we are committed to embracing the spirit of generosity that defines both the Holy Month of Ramadan and the values of the nation. By sharing Iftar meals, we contribute to an inclusive and empowered society where collaboration, kindness, and shared responsibility drive collective progress."
