Dibba Al Hisn prepares for Ramadan

Before bringing items into the city, suppliers from outside the city must obtain formal permission. This keeps everything moving smoothly and prevents delays during the busiest month. To maintain high standards across all marketplaces and shops, inspectors will also make surprise visits.

Ramadan’s market

The city has set up its annual Ramadan market beside the fruit and vegetable souk. It will be open every day from 4 to 6 p.m. Licensed commercial and home sellers serve meals and traditional dishes to residents and guests in a safe and organised manner. The market is part of a broader effort to bring people together and foster the spirit of sharing during the holy month.

Operation hours

Customer service centres are open on different days and times, but the abattoir and public markets are still open for longer hours under veterinary supervision to meet the higher demand during Ramadan.

Decorations and celebratory design

Public parks, roundabouts, main roads, and crossroads have been decorated with illuminated displays, Islamic symbols, and celebratory designs. Several iftar tents have been set up in partnership with humanitarian agencies to make the area more welcoming for both locals and visitors.

Ongoing inspections

Taleb Abdullah Al Yahyaei, the head of Dibba Al Hisn Municipality, said that inspection teams would continue working throughout the month, conducting both planned and unplanned visits. The major goals remain to protect food quality and ensure that city services are always available.

Greetings for Ramadan

As part of its message for the holy month, the municipality sent its best wishes to His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, and to the residents of Dibba Al Hisn. It wished everyone a blessed and peaceful Ramadan.
