Ramadan Around the World is a chance for you to engage with the local community and participate in the holy month’s activities and introduce cultures. Different communities get to gather to offer different activities that target families and specifically kids, despite their nationalities and backgrounds.
Festival’s objective is to engage the public and to raise awareness of the young generation about the importance of understanding Islamic cultures around the world. The festival offers Ramadan tailored programs, food from around the world, arts, crafts, and themed treasure hunt for children with daily prizes.
Firing of the Ramadan cannon is a traditional practice in Qatar and other parts of the Islamic world that evokes memories of the past among the older generation.
