The celebrations for Sharjah Capital of Islamic Culture 2014 coupled with the holy month of Ramadan events have excelled said HE Mohamed Ali Al Noman, chairman, Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority.
Al Noman said that ahead of the summer season the Authority held meetings with representatives of hotel industry to ensure attractive special summer promotions and facilities are offered. Al Noman also applauded the Ramadan Festival and Islamic Culture Capital celebrations at Expo Centre. With internationally renowned scholars, intellectuals, scientists and artists taking part in the Expo Center event, it is a great opportunity for dialogue and exchange of ideas and experiences.
Al Noman said the SCTDA’s efforts to promote domestic tourism have been delivering positive results with the sector registering a remarkable 11% growth in the hotel occupancy during the first three months of this year.
The Sharjah Ramadan Festival and summer promotions are back this year with more than 2,000 participating stores and outlets.
The SICC 2014 festivities began earlier this year with a cultural and artistic extravaganza celebrating Sharjah’s unique tourism product and culture, the presentation of spectacular hi-tech musical extravaganza, The Clusters of Light, explored the journey of Islam, at Al Majaz Amphitheatre creating a strong platform for the beginning of a year of celebrations befitting Sharjah the Capital of Islamic Culture.
