Special deals and live performances dominate the events for families and visitors of malls in Dubai this Ramadan.

At Mercato, a live show by the renowned Enshad Choir is going on since August 7, where an exquisite collection of Islamic songs reverberate in the air this Ramadan.

Mirla El Masri Heisser, PR and Corporate Communication Manager of Mercato and Town Centre Jumeirah, said that the choir beautifully communicate the values of Islam through Arabian songs and poetry.

Enshad Choir will be performing two shows every evening. The first will be from 9.30pm until 10.15pm and the second performance, from 10.45pm until 11.30pm. These performances will continue until the last day of the holy month of Ramadan.

The show by Enshad Choir comes as an addition to the already existing Ramadan activities taking place at Mercato this year.

Heisser said that these are charitable activities that will make it easy for mall visitors to be able to contribute to charity, while enjoying a taste of traditional Ramadan atmosphere.

There is a charity box on the first floor, where mall visitors can donate toys, books and clothes during Ramadan. All donations will be given to orphanages through the Beit Al Khair Society. Near the charity box, there is an interactive children’s workshop, offering a variety of arts and crafts including paper lanterns, Ramadan and Eid cards and painting.
