LET'S SOAK IN THE SPIRIT OF EID
Gulf Today
|March 31, 2025
Our ride for some years has been painful. We have been witnessing unhappiness in the form of continuous wars. Therefore, festivals really come as a huge relief. Let's make the most of them. The cultural team of Gulf Today captures the mood
-

We are in Sharjah. It is celebrating Eid Al Fitr and the ways are exciting for the fun-loving and the romantic. There is activity and there is joy. From Abu Dhabi to Dubai to Sharjah to Ajman to Fujairah to Ras Al Khaimah to Umm Al Qaiwain the mood is one of thrill and geniality.
Let's shift to a Sharjah hotspot. The lake, the fountain, the music, the cups of coffee, the icecream cups, the Mexican cuts, the Italian offerings take our breath away.
We are at the Al Majaz Waterfront. We wish we were all twenty and we could say we want more. The garden, the manicured walks and the landscaping is being fully exploited by the revellers in the shape of hyperactive children, bright boys, smart girls, sober men and pleasant residents.
The festival means good times for the less fortunate because it means a lot by way of charity and food. There are feasts almost in every house, which is preceded by the distribution of sweets. Not everyone can eat good food everyday. The festival of Eid kind of answers that paucity at least for some days of the year.
