Hag Al Laila: UAE’s pre‑Ramadan celebration
Fifteen days before Ramadan, children dress in traditional clothes and go door‑to‑door singing for nuts and sweets in Hag Al Laila - a joyful reminder that Ramadan is near. Celebrations across the UAE (from malls to parks and cultural sites) include traditional music, henna, storytelling, sweets, workshops, character meet‑and‑greets, a drone show, family activities and themed trails for kids. Expected date this year: Hag Al Laila around Feb 3 if Ramadan begins Feb 18.
