The 33rd Sharjah Ramadan Festival has exceeded sales expectations, generating approximately AED 300 million and achieving a growth rate of 20 per cent.
This year’s Festival, organised by the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI), has further cemented Sharjah’s position as a global destination for shopping.
Director general of SCCI, H.E. Mohammad Ahmed Amin Al Awadi, said: “The remarkable success of the 33rd Sharjah Ramadan Festival, in terms of both sales volume and attracting thousands of shoppers, reaffirms the event’s status as one of the region’s most significant festivals.
“Its crucial role in bolstering the retail sector and providing strong support to Sharjah’s economy further solidifies the emirate’s standing among the world’s premier shopping destinations.”
Throughout Ramadan and Eid Al Fitr celebrations, the festival offered residents and visitors shopping and entertainment experiences in malls and popular destinations.
Assistant direct general of the communication and business sector at SCCI, Abdulaziz Mohammed Shattaf, said: “Our surveys indicate that both public turnout and merchant satisfaction during this year’s Ramadan Festival season were highly positive across the emirate.
“The event played a pivotal role in the remarkable recovery of commercial activity, as reflected in the substantial sales volume achieved. The Sharjah Chamber is committed to enhancing the festival’s activities in future editions, working closely with sectoral groups to launch innovative initiatives, organise captivating events, and deliver even more enjoyable and novel experiences for all.”
