Each night in a popular Ramadan tradition, a cannon will be fired at sunset to mark the onset of iftar. Ahead of Suhoor, the voice of a Musaharati, also known as the ‘night caller’, will fill the air as he calls on people to start a new day in Ramadan.

Elsewhere in Global Village, a 25-piece Arabesque Orchestra will play on the Main Stage and until April 10, with guests still able to enjoy water stunts at the Harbour Force Stunt Show.

During Ramadan and for Eid the Kids Theatre has been transformed into a cinema. Visitors will also delight in a clown variety show, a roaming pianist, a clarinet player and two violin players stationed at the Fountain and Gate of the World to provide a musical experience.
