Mleiha National Park blends heritage and nature during Ramadan

Sharjah24: As the holy month of Ramadan begins with the sighting of the moon, Sharjah’s ‘Mleiha National Park’ invites visitors to embrace traditions in a setting steeped in serenity and heritage, with the ‘Ramadan Star Lounge’, at the Mleiha Archaeological Centre grounds. Offering a distinctive blend of cultural immersion and tranquil desert landscapes, this exclusive lounge will provide an escape from urban life for Iftar and Suhoor gatherings for the whole family.

Exclusive packages for all settings

Set against the backdrop of Sharjah’s majestic dunes, the lounge reimagines Ramadan observances through an authentic lens. Guests can choose the Iftar option from 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM, and break their fast with a traditional Iftar meal after the sun dips below the horizon, followed by evenings enriched by activities such as stargazing, soft archery, board games, and short guided horse rides. Children also have access to dedicated play areas, ensuring families can celebrate together in an inclusive environment. For the Suhoor experience operating from 12:00 AM to 3:00 AM, guests can savor a curated Suhoor menu under a star-lit sky, while reflecting on the spiritual essence of the month.

For those seeking an extended experience, the Full Night Package allows guests to experience both Iftar and Suhoor in one seamless evening, running from 6:00 PM to 3:00 AM. Corporate groups or families can also arrange exclusive venue hire throughout Ramadan, ideal for tailored gatherings such as company events or large families. Additionally, exclusive return transfers; though subject to availability and an additional fee; ensure convenient access to the desert retreat.
