Dubai is preparing for the month of Ramadan with a series of cultural and community events organized by the Dubai Municipality, Community Development Authority, Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, Dubai Department of Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities, Museum of the Future, and Dubai Roads and Transport Authority. The programs include cultural and entertainment activities featuring the character 'Buttabai' and solo musicians, taking place at Global Village, City Walk Mall, Mall of the Emirates, and Dubai Festival City Mall. The 'Children of the Neighborhood' initiative, launched by the Dubai Department of Islamic Affairs and Charitable Activities, encourages children to pray regularly in mosques across Dubai, with the distribution of 'passports'. As part of cultural and community experiences organized in neighborhoods and public squares, evening events after iftar will include storytelling of cultural traditions, creative activities, and communal meals that reflect the values of hospitality, generosity, and social interaction. Dubai also hosts a unified visual identity during the 'Al-Walfa' season, featuring Ramadan lights and lanterns, along with flags and decorative elements hung on major roads and in public areas, as well as at prominent landmarks of the emirate. The 'Ramadan in Dubai' program, which kicks off at the beginning of the holy month and lasts for 30 days, is part of a broader cultural journey that started with 'Hak al-Layla' and will culminate in the 'Eid in Dubai' celebrations.
