The Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry has introduced the Ramadan Nights which is a part of the Sharjah Ramadan Festival. This festival is organized in order to help the residents of the emirate and the visitors to observe the holy month of Ramadan and the following Eid celebrations. It is a comprehensive shopping platform that aims to provide a hefty discount of up to 80% on all products and gadgets that are being sold on this platform. From May 31 to June 16 will be the 29th edition of the festival and it will be held for 17 days.
