Designed to combine entertainment with cultural enrichment, this year’s line-up features a range of interactive formats, giving viewers and participants the chance to join in—and to win substantial cash prizes.
The centrepiece of the schedule is Al Nishan, the long-running heritage quiz programme broadcast on Sharjah TV. Filmed live from Aljada, one of the emirate’s liveliest districts, the show takes place in a specially designed studio inspired by Sharjah’s traditional architecture. Its set draws on the textures of the old city walls and the essence of Emirati urban life, evoking scenes from past generations’ daily lives and celebrating the enduring spirit of local heritage.
This year's Al Nishan is hosted by Ismail Al Sheibani, Naji Khamis, and Abdullah Al Hammadi, whose lively camaraderie brings warmth and humour to the show. The format combines live call-in questions, brain-teasing challenges, interactive segments, and competitions for the public attending in person at Aljada.
Each episode offers participants the chance to win one of 15 prizes, each valued at AED 1,000—a popular incentive that has become a highlight of Sharjah’s Ramadan evenings.
Najm Al Majalis has returned for its sixth season on Sharjah Radio and Television and the Maraya platform, bringing together lively competitions and moments that both educate and entertain. The programme brings together families and members of Sharjah’s suburban councils, competing in a lively, friendly atmosphere that combines knowledge with fun.
This year, the competition offers cash prizes totalling around AED 400,000, along with a car for the first-place team. Viewers also have a chance to win a car through a raffle, in addition to a host of daily cash and in-kind prizes. Sharjah TV broadcasts the programme daily at 9 p.m., while Sharjah Radio airs it from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m.
The winning team will receive AED 70,000 in cash from the Sharjah Broadcasting Authority (SBA), along with a car provided by Sharjah Islamic Bank. The runners-up will also be rewarded: the second-place team will receive AED 50,000 from the Department of Suburban Affairs, while the third- and fourth-place teams will receive AED 30,000 and AED 15,000, respectively, from SBA.
In addition to the main prizes, each episode includes daily awards for the live studio audience, totalling AED 4,000 per day and AED 116,000 over the season. The final episode will also feature a draw for a car, kindly sponsored by Sharjah Islamic Bank, giving one lucky audience member the chance to take home an exciting prize.
