QNET UAE revelled in Rashid Centre’s Hag Al Leila celebrations in Dubai last week.
Hag Al Leila, which means ‘for this night’, celebrates the arrival of the Holy Month of Ramadan. It is an annual occasion in the middle of Sha’aban, the eighth month in the Islamic Hijri calendar where Emirati families and children across the UAE exchange sweets and memories of the occasion. In the late afternoon, children knock on neighbours’ doors asking for small offerings by saying ‘Atoona Hag Al Laila’, which means “give us sweets for tonight”.
His Highness Sheikh Abdullah Bin Maktoum Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum, was the guest of honor at the celebration, along with Rasid Centre General Manager Mariam Othman and QNET Regional General Manager (Middle East and North Africa) Khaled Diab.
