In a distinct Qatari heritage atmosphere, which will mix reviving heritage and fun, the Ministry of Culture and Sports is gearing up to celebrate Garangao.

Garangao is a Qatari traditional children’s party celebrated after the breaking of the fast on the 14th night of Ramadan, when half of the fasting month is over.

As precautionary measures to limit spread of the coronavirus, the buses will take a tour in many areas of the country to distribute sweets and nuts to children at their homes.

The initiative of Garangao comes within the framework,of the Ministry’s keenness to continue reviving the popular heritage, and within its campaign that seeks to achieve social cohesion.

The Director of Sports Affairs at the Ministry of Culture and Sports, explained that the celebration aims to spread joy in the hearts of children. It is organized in cooperation with 10 sports clubs including:  Al Rayyan, Al Sadd , Qatar Sports Club, Al Khor , and Al Shamal.

He also said that it is difficult for the buses to cover all areas of the country, but a large group of children will receive gifts of Garangao, and this distribution is to ensure community participation.

Al Haremi noted that the videos have been made and will be posted on social media platforms to train about the safety measures when preparing buses for Garangao sweet distribution.
