Al-Qerqe’an

Gargee’an is a cherished Gulf tradition celebrated on the 13th, 14th, or 15th night of Ramadan. Children dress in vibrant traditional attire and visit neighboring homes, singing joyful songs and collecting sweets and small gifts. This festive occasion fosters community spirit and celebrates the innocence and joy of childhood.
The celebration involves children carrying decorated bags to gather treats, while singing traditional chants that vary by region. These songs often include blessings and well-wishes, creating an atmosphere of warmth and generosity. The event is not only a source of delight for children but also a nostalgic experience for adults, reconnecting them with their cultural heritage.
Brought to life through curated performances and interactive participation, Gargee’an infuses Ramadan events with festive color, music, and joy. It remains a beloved highlight in community festivals and cultural programs, where tradition becomes an engaging experience shared across generations.
