Eid revelers flock to Expo Centre Sharjah

Sharjah, 16 July 2015: A host of amusement and shopping activities at the ongoing Ramadan & Eid Exhibition has made Expo Centre Sharjah the most happening place during the Eid Al Fitr holidays.

The exhibition, which got under way on June 25, will continue until July 18 and serve as a major family and tourist attraction during the holidays.

“The Ramadan & Eid Exhibition is the most popular event of its kind in the region. We have had great visitor numbers until now, especially from the Arab community, and we expect the figure to go up considerably during the Eid holidays given that there is a lot more happening in the exhibition halls and outside,” said Mr. Saif Mohammed Al Midfa, CEO, Expo Centre Sharjah.

The exhibition hours too have been revised for the Eid days, when it will remain open from 5pm to 11pm as against 7.30 pm to 2 pm during Ramadan.

“The support and guidance of Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry and Expo Centre Sharjah and have played a great role in helping us deliver an impressive show. This will encourage us to present a bigger and better show next year,” said Mr. Naser Al Bahri, General Manager of Al Hader Exhibitions & Conferences, which is organising the show for the first time in the 28-year history of the Ramadan & Eid Exhibition.
