If there is one thing to do during the Holy Month of Ramadan, witness an Iftar Cannon. The Iftar Cannon is an ancient tradition that started in Egypt and spread to surrounding Muslim countries. A single shot is fired at sunset to announce iftar and visitors to Expo City Dubai can witness this tradition taking place in front of them.

Note: A dedicated mosque in the Sustainable District will host those who want to pray.

As usual, Al Wasl Plaza will be the beating heart of Hai Ramadan’s celebrations, coming to life as the sun sets with a series of stunning immersive projections curated just for the month-long event. The spellbinding Immersive Story Time with Al Wasl will narrate special stories about the Prophet to all those gathering at the dome.

Rashid and Latifa Expo

Besides this, there will be plenty more activities for the little ones. They will be able to see Expo City mascots Rashid and Latifa performing in a theatrical show called Quest to Find the Moon at Al Wasl Plaza. And they can partake in workshops and games teaching them the values of Ramadan.

Ramadan wouldn’t be complete without a meal post-sunset, and visitors can break their fast with the community across Expo City. Expect Ramadan treats from over 20 outlets and food carts.
