HE Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qasimi, chairman of the Executive Committee for SICC 2014 Celebrations, said that Sharjah Ramadan is an Islamic cultural celebration that mirrors Sharjah’s interest in thought, art, media and heritage. “It seeks to provide its visitors with Islamic cultural information in an interesting way and offer them the chance to meet scientists, intellectuals and artists and benefit from their experiences,” added Al Qasimi.
Sharjah Ramadan will cover the cultural, artistic, theatrical and social aspects of Islamic culture. It will, for the first time in the emirate, include an Islamic book fair, as well as a collection of Mamluk Qur’an manuscripts and rare Islamic artworks.
