Commerce and Industry (SCCI) in cooperation with the local
government.
Among the festival’s major activities
is the “Ramadan Exhibition” to be held at the Sharjah Expo Center

marketing platform for exhibitors to display various products.
Among this year’s main attractions is a special furniture

Ahmed Mohammed Al Midfa, SCCI Chairman
and Vice President of the festival’s Higher Organising Committee,
said, “The 20th edition of the festival is a positive and major
addition to local initiatives aimed at enhancing the
emirate’s regional and international status as a safe
and attractive tourist and business destination.”
Mohamed Ahmed Amin,
Assistant Director General of Economic and International Affairs,
SCCI, added, “The Sharjah Ramadan Festival is an important
entertainment and marketing event that assumes a vital social and
cultural role in the UAE. We have been emphasizing this aspect of
the event through activities that highlight the dynamic nature of
Sharjah. We intend to increase the number of visitors and shoppers
by expanding retail space and increasing the number of companies
confirming their participation. Through the various festivities,
we will highlight our seasonal activities and present the emirate
in the best possible way.”
The Sharjah Ramadan Festival, the annual event held during
the holy month of Ramadan for 42 days, is expected to draw a huge
audience to its social, cultural, religious, sports,
environmental, and traditional activities.
It has evolved into an
important activity that contributes significantly to enhancing the
