City Centre Sharjah led Hag-e-Leila celebrations, a historic tradition marking the middle of Shaban, to educate the community about the importance of Ramadan. The crowds cheered as cultural dances were performed by female students of Qubaa Centre. Mothers in the community joined in the celebrations by bringing traditional Emirati food to share with everyone, and special sweets for the occasion were distributed to mall visitors.
