Mariyam Shiuna, Ooredoo Maldives

Ooredoo’s 2026 annual calendar continues its tradition of celebrating Maldivian culture and shared experiences. In this interview, Shiuna from Ooredoo Maldives shares the thinking behind this year’s theme, which centres on tea—a simple ritual deeply woven into everyday life across the Maldives. 

From the familiar “Hingaa sayah?” to monthly blends inspired by local flowers, fruits and herbs, the 2026 calendar celebrates connection, pause and shared experience in forms that go beyond the page.

For 2026, Ooredoo has expanded the calendar range to include wall, desk, and digital calendars, allowing customers to engage with the theme throughout the year. The desk calendar also includes specially formulated teas for daily teatime, adding a sensory and interactive element to the experience.
