Ramadan tent setup in Al Dhafra
Ramadan tent setup in Al Dhafra: a tent for iftar, ghabga or a Ramadan majlis, sized to the ground and the number of guests, with Arabic seating or tables and Ramadan lighting and decoration as you choose.
What the service is
Putting up a Ramadan tent and fitting it out: flooring, Arabic or floor seating or tables and chairs, lighting and decoration — for family iftars, company iftars and Ramadan majlis, for one night, some days or the whole month.
Who it suits
For families hosting iftar or ghabga at home, companies and organisations holding iftar for staff or guests, and anyone running a Ramadan majlis through the month.
What we can arrange
- A tent sized to the ground and the number
- Flooring and carpets
- Arabic or floor seating, or tables and chairs
- Interior and entrance lighting
- Ramadan decoration and lanterns
- Cooling or ventilation as the site needs
- A hospitality corner
Pieces, sizes, quantities, timing and price are set in the quotation according to the site and the number of people.
What we need to send a quotation
- Plot location and size, or a photo
- Number of guests per day
- Duration: one night, some days or the whole month
- Preferred seating
- Whether power is available nearby
- Whether a delivery vehicle can reach the site, or there is a narrow gate or path
What shapes the setup
- Duration
- A one-night tent and a tent standing all month differ in how they are anchored and looked after.
- Ground and space
- Sand or paving, and the area, set the tent size and aisles.
- Access to the site
- The route for the delivery vehicle and the width of the gate or path decide how the pieces are carried in and the order of setup, so a photo of the entrance helps.
- Cooling and air-conditioning
- The number of cooling and air-conditioning units is set by the tent area and the number of people, and stated in the quotation.
- Numbers and seating
- Floor seating fits a different number in the same space than tables, so we propose the layout once we know the number.
- Setup time
- The tent goes up an agreed time before the first day and comes down after the last.
- Weather
- In the coming years Ramadan falls in the winter months, so evenings are usually mild, with a chance of wind or rain that we allow for in anchoring tents and their sides.
Working in Al Dhafra
Our base is in Al Yarmook, Sharjah, and we serve Al Dhafra; we confirm the arrival time when you call, according to the site. If the tent stands on public land or outside the property line, or meals will be handed out to the public, the requirements are checked with the site management and the competent authority before confirmation.
Maghrib in Al Dhafra comes six to ten minutes after Dubai, depending on the town. We use the city’s official timetable to set the ready-by time.
In the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, the TAMM platform lists two Department of Municipalities and Transport services: a permit to install a Ramadan tent (temporary iftar tents installed by companies) and a permit for a temporary Ramadan tent outside residential plot boundaries, applied for by the installing contractor with its trade licence. Who applies is agreed before confirmation; this does not mean a permit has been issued to us.

Frequently asked questions
Can the tent be booked for the whole month?
Yes, or for set days; the duration and what is included are in the quotation.
Does it suit a company iftar?
Yes; tables or floor seating are chosen by the number and the kind of iftar.
Does the tent need approval?
If it stands on public land or outside the property line, requirements are checked with the site management and the competent authority before confirmation. Where we have read an official Ramadan-tent service for an emirate, its city pages name it.
Does an iftar tent need a permit in Al Dhafra?
In the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, the TAMM platform lists two Department of Municipalities and Transport services: a permit to install a Ramadan tent (temporary iftar tents installed by companies) and a permit for a temporary Ramadan tent outside residential plot boundaries, applied for by the installing contractor with its trade licence.
