The OC called upon all businesses in the emirate to seize the great opportunities of the festival's advantages and facilities.

Every year, major shopping centres and thousands of shops seize this opportunity to market their products, as the festival grants a wide range of advantages and benefits for the participating businesses.”

Al-Jarwan underlined SCCI's commitment to providing all means of support for shopping centres and shops, by facilitating registration procedures according to the location, enable the completion of registration processes either at SCCI's headquarters or its branches located in the cities of Khorfakkan, Kalba and Al Dhaid. Al-Jarwan pointed out that SCCI seeks, in cooperation and coordination with local government departments and authorities, to provide all that the SRF needs to be a big success. He expected that the festival would see a wide engagement from various commercial, social, and cultural establishments and organisations.
The SRF 2023, which will be held under the motto ‘Ramadan is happier with you’, is part of set of annual events organised by SCCI with the aim of boosting business activities and retail trade, in addition to increasing the number of shoppers in the malls, central markets, and shops in Sharjah. SCCI has always been working to promote the Emirate of Sharjah as an international tourist destination, highlighting its economic, social, tourist, cultural and historical eminence, and that is why SRF guarantees a unique experience during the holy month of Ramadan, through family activities, live entertainment shows, major discounts on a wide range of goods, heritage and cultural activities, raffles and grand prizes.
