Bahi Ajman Palace Hotel Sets a New Standard for Responsible Luxury in the UAE

Dubai, UAE – March 5th, 2026 – Hospitality Management Holding (HMH) a Manafa company, has taken a major step toward protecting the environment by launching the ‘Bahi Upcycled Collections’ at Bahi Ajman Palace Hotel. In collaborative partnership with the renowned environmental advocacy group GreenWarrior.Earth, this ground-breaking initiative establishes a highly practical, scalable circular economy template within the Middle East’s regional luxury hospitality framework.

Luxury hotels naturally use and replace a lot of materials, especially high-quality room linens and fabrics. Recognizing the urgent ecological necessity to move away from linear “take-make-waste” industrial models, the team at Bahi Ajman Palace Hotel designed an internal operational system that entirely intercepts retired hotel linens before they can enter traditional public waste disposal routes. This process completely diverts massive quantities of textiles away from municipal landfills, instead routing them through a meticulous, multi-tiered reclamation pipeline.

Once retired from direct guest operations, the luxury fabrics undergo a rigorous sorting phase to assess structural integrity. They are then subjected to deep sanitization protocols using eco-friendly, hypoallergenic agents that meet the highest hygiene benchmarks. From there, skilled local artisans handle the delicate process of precision restitching. These sanitized fabrics emerge on the other side of the production cycle as high-quality consumer items, including bespoke soft toys for young travelers, ecological tote bags, and versatile guest room storage organizers. Each piece stands as a unique, tactile demonstration of operational waste mitigation and artistic resourcefulness.

This sustainable deployment strongly underscores the property’s profound dedication to the principles of responsible consumption and local community engagement. By breathing an entirely new lifecycle purpose into operating assets that traditionally carry a short shelf-life, the resort successfully establishes a verifiable blueprint for modern ecological luxury. Guests are no longer forced to choose between premium comforts and environmental responsibility; the upcycled collections prove that true luxury can actively contribute to a greener planet.

Furthermore, this localized project does not exist in isolation. It forms a cornerstone of a much wider, aggressive corporate sustainability agenda being rolled out across all properties managed by Hospitality Management Holding (HMH) a Manafa company. By championing these creative, hyper-localized actions, the group is aggressively driving down its overarching operational carbon footprint while aligning closely with the UAE’s grander federal net-zero ambitions. Through the “Bahi Upcycled Collections,” HMH demonstrates to the wider travel industry that the path toward a fully regenerative corporate future begins by beautifully reshaping the very materials already in our hands.

and Visionary Leadership

Dubai, UAE – January 20th, 2026 – Hospitality Management Holding (HMH) a Manafa company, concludes a transformative year marked by strategic milestones, prestigious international honours, and the powerful realization of its group vision: to be the definitive benchmark for excellence, innovation, and partnership in the global hospitality industry.

The year 2025 was one of dynamic engagement and solid growth for HMH. The group commanded significant attention at the Arabian Travel Market, welcoming a host of industry leaders and property owners to its stand to forge future collaborations. This forward momentum was paralleled by a key operational achievement: the finalization of all preparatory work for the landmark Corp Makkah Al Naseem Hotel, which is on track for its grand opening in Q3 2026. HMH’s active presence at trade shows across the UAE and KSA further fueled the success of its existing portfolio, with hotels across the group delivering exceptional commercial performance.

Highlighting its strong relationship with regional taste-makers and community leaders, the group also hosted its annual HMH Media Iftar during Ramadan. This exclusive gathering brought together prominent media personalities from the region’s top media houses and leading publishers, serving as a premier platform to celebrate shared successes and reinforce HMH’s transparent, communicative relationship with the press.

A cornerstone of HMH’s leadership philosophy is that excellence is a collective achievement, reflected in both team and individual prowess. This was spectacularly validated in 2025 through a series of high-calibre awards. The group’s Central Reservations Office (CRO) team was honoured twice by the esteemed Indian travel partner, Make My Trip, receiving both the ‘Star Performers’ and the ‘Outstanding Exemplary Chain Partnership’ awards for exceptional performance. At the property level, Corp Amman Hotel was prominently featured as one of Jordan’s top 10 room producers by the global giant Expedia.

Furthermore, HMH’s role as an incubator for world-class hospitality talent was underscored by the personal achievements of its leaders. Mr. Iftikhar Hamdani, Area General Manager for Bahi Ajman Palace Hotel and Coral Beach Resort Sharjah, had an exceptional year, being named among Hozpitality Group’s Best 30 General Managers in the Middle East, nominated for the HSMAI ROCKSTAR Awards for innovation, and receiving the ‘Overseas Tourism Ambassador Award’. Similarly, Mr. Ahmad Ebdah, General Manager of Corp Amman Hotel, earned a distinguished spot on the International Stars Powerlist for his exemplary global leadership.

Reflecting on this year of accolades and achievement, H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Faisal Al Qassimi, Chairman of Manafa LLC and HMH, said, “True leadership in hospitality is measured not only by the properties we build but by the legacies we create, the partnerships we nurture, and the people we elevate. The triumphs of 2025, from our strategic expansions and partner recognitions to the global acclaim of our teams and leaders, are a testament to HMH’s unwavering commitment to excellence. As we prepare to welcome guests to Makkah and continue our growth, our vision is clear: to be the architects of unparalleled experiences and the definitive partners of choice, setting the standard for professionalism and innovation in every market we serve.”

From Rainfall to Resilience: Kutoof’s Climate-Smart Agriculture Initiative Enhances Crop Protection in Arid Regions

Sharjah, UAE – 1st July 2026MANAFA LLC subsidiary Kutoof has launched a climate-smart agriculture initiative designed to support the cultivation and protection of climate-sensitive crops in arid and water-stressed regions.

As global weather patterns become increasingly variable and water scarcity continues to challenge traditional agricultural systems, the initiative focuses on integrating climate-adapted farming practices to improve resilience and long-term productivity. The programme aligns with broader sustainability and food security priorities across the UAE and similar arid environments.

Kutoof’s approach incorporates a combination of modern water management techniques and adaptive agronomic practices. These include efficient drip irrigation systems, rainwater harvesting methods, and soil moisture monitoring tools designed to optimise water use and support crop stability under variable climatic conditions. Additional practices such as mulching and crop shading are applied to help improve soil moisture retention and reduce heat stress, supporting healthier crop development in challenging environments.

The initiative also places emphasis on sustainable crop protection strategies. By integrating climate-adapted pest and disease management approaches and supporting soil health through organic amendments and biofertilizers, the programme aims to reduce reliance on chemical inputs while enhancing natural crop resilience. These practices are designed to support long-term agricultural sustainability while maintaining productivity in environments where water and soil resources are limited.

Initial pilot activities involving selected horticultural crops have shown encouraging results in improving water efficiency and crop performance under arid conditions. The initiative has also begun to attract interest from agricultural stakeholders and sustainability-focused institutions in the region.

“This initiative reflects our focus on practical, climate-smart solutions that address the realities of farming in arid environments,” said H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Faisal bin Sultan Al Qassimi, Chairman & CEO of Kutoof. “By improving water efficiency and strengthening crop resilience, we aim to support more sustainable agricultural practices over the long term.”

Kutoof continues to develop and refine its climate-smart agriculture programme with a focus on scalability and adaptability across different crop types and regions.
