Qatar Museums and Hamad Medical Corporation launches the ‘Stay Home, Stay Safe’ campaign, to invite families to virtually celebrate Garangao.

This initiative aims to encourage families to practice social distancing, while celebrating the festivities by sharing children’s photos dressed in traditional Garangao clothes.

The photos submitted will be posted on QM and HMC Instagram pages to spread the joy and happiness of the holy month of Ramadan.

Garangao is a Ramadan tradition that is, widely celebrated by children across Qatar and the Gulf region. On this night, children usually walk around their neighborhoods singing traditional songs that mark the occasion and receive gifts and bags of sweets from their elders.

A key goal of this initiative is to encourage social responsibility by encouraging the community to stay at home. The initiative also aims to promote virtual connections between families and friends, enabling the Garangao tradition to be preserved and celebrated despite these difficult times.

Families that wish to submit their children’s photos can send it via direct message to Qatar Museums’ Instagram account : @qatar_museums.
