When its halfway through Ramadan it is time for the children’s festival Garangao. This is a Qatari tradition that celebrates tradition and the rich cultural heritage of Qatar.
The event occurs on the 14th night at the mid-point in Ramadan. Traditionally parents sent their children to the neighbours to get nuts and sweets. The children are dressed brightly in their Garangao clothing.
During Ramadan 2017 Garangao will officially take place on Friday 9th June, however Garangao events are taking place throughout the week.
