“The German dentist, who did not wish to be named, said he wanted to propose to his girlfriend — also a dentist from Germany — who was attending the congress,” said the organisers.

“He requested us to allow him to use the very authentic Arabian setting that was made for the gala dinner to propose marriage to her.

An eyewitness described the scene as very touching and romantic. “He proposed and she was on the verge of crying, but did not. It was nice to see a romantic couple very much in love.

“They later danced to the Arabian traditional music to seal the moment,” he remarked.
