WAM

The House of Wisdom (HoW) hosts Ramadaniyat pop-up, the first-ever outdoor marketplace, which will run for ten days until April 24 in Sharjah.

With twinkling lanterns and tantalising aromas of food, bustling night markets are a staple of Ramadan festivities.

It will ffering visitors of all age groups a plethora of activities that bring together a unique shopping experience, arts, and gastronomic delights. The free-to-enter ‘House of Wisdom Ramadaniyat’ is open from 8:30 p.m. until midnight.

Visitors can browse through 20 vendor booths where many local entrepreneurs and SMEs are displaying an array of exclusive clothing and jewellery pieces by homegrown independent boutiques and designers.

The event comprises the ‘Little Reader’s Ramadaniyat’, which offers parents the opportunity to register their kids and let them enjoy a workshop space and shopping area from 5:00 p.m. until midnight in HoW’s Little Reader children’s section, while parents can continue their shopping experience and participate in the activities held in the outdoor area.

As part of the workshop series, DIY kits that include craft tools, toys and products relevant to the blessed month of Ramadan will be available for sale, which participants can purchase and work on with the help of trained facilitators.

Families can treat their young ones to something memorable for Ramadan from one of the local vendors who have set up a shop in the Little Reader section by offering vibrantly illustrated books designed to help youth form a healthy and long-lasting relationship with the Arabic language while stimulating their imagination.

Younger kids will be delighted by the brightly coloured early learning toys and products to enhance children’s cognitive capabilities.

The ‘House of Wisdom Ramadaniyat’ is part of the HoW’s ongoing Ramadan programme in April that features creative and educational workshops and other activities dedicated to children and youth.

It will help harness their leisure time during the Holy Month, nurture their knowledge of their cultural and religious values, and enable them to experience its deeply rooted customs and traditions.
