The ceremony has, in previous years, been attended by such high level dignitaries as HRH King Abdullah II of Jordan, HRH King Mohammed VI of Morocco, HRH Prince Al Waleed bin Talal and HH Sheikh Mohammed, Ruler of Dubai. The awards celebrate the very best in business achievement on both a corporate and individual level. Milaha was one of 17 honorees at the event.
