Sharjah's Al Qarayen 5 Park to Remain Closed Until December 9th

Sharjah Municipality has announced that Al Qarayen 5 Park will remain temporarily closed until December 9th, 2026, to accommodate preparations for the annual Al Dawahi Festival. The neighbourhood park is scheduled to reopen to visitors on December 10th.

Organised by Sharjah Districts Affairs, the Al Dawahi Festival is a family-oriented event typically held during the school winter break, bringing together outdoor entertainment, cultural activities, food and attractions for children.

Last year's edition featured a range of activities, including art exhibitions, interactive theatre, educational and sports programmes, training workshops and community initiatives. The festival also provided opportunities for local artisans and supported entrepreneurial projects developed by school and university students.

Dedicated children's areas and creative activities formed part of the programme, alongside daily television and radio broadcasts from the festival grounds.
