UAE: SIH initiates Ramadan cultural programme

The Ramadan cultural programme, which will run through April 21st, has begun at the Sharjah Institute for Heritage (SIH). The rebirth of the heritage area in the heart of Sharjah and the rest of the emirate's regions occurred during the Holy Month of Ramadan, according to Dr. Abdul Aziz Al Musallam, Chairman of SIH. "Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, to revive these areas and strengthen their presence among the most visited tourist and recreational site, and to introduce the Emirati and Arab folklore, in fashion, games, customs, traditions, food, and others, to preserve them among the members of the new generation," he added. The participation of the communities is distinct and purposeful, according to Aisha Ghabish, Director of Events and Activities Department of SIH. SIH has taken advantage of Sharjah Heritage Days' infrastructure by reviving them under new titles for this occasion, while the markets will remain open until Eid Al Fitr's closure. According to WAM, Dr. Mani Bounaama, Director of SIH Content and Publication Department, commented, "The Ramadan cultural council this year celebrates the Emirati folklore, traditions, and Ramadan rituals. The Emirati folk memory is full of stories about Ramadan and its beautiful rituals, and we will present many of them through a number of valuable lectures for researchers, to recall a group of traditional topics, rituals, and traditions that accompanied the holy month, in addition to other rich and diverse topics and the releases of the institute's latest publications."
