Condolence and majlis services in Khor Fakkan
Condolence and majlis services in Khor Fakkan: we prepare the place of condolence with what is needed to receive mourners — the tent or majlis, chairs and seating, quiet lighting, Arabic coffee, dates and water, and coffee servers — so the family can give its time to the visitors.
What the service is
A complete setup for the place of condolence — at home, in a tent beside it, or in a hall — from installation to removal after the condolence days. We agree with the family what is actually needed and add nothing that was not asked for.
Who it suits
For families receiving mourners at home or in their majlis, and for relatives or neighbours arranging it on the family’s behalf.
What we can arrange
- A white condolence tent with closed sides and ventilation, sized to the site and the number
- Comfortable chairs and side tables for coffee, water and dates
- Carpets and floor cushions for those who prefer floor seating
- Quiet lighting that lasts until late at night
- A discreet sound system for Quran recitation
- Male coffee servers for the men and female servers for the women
- Arabic coffee, dates and cold water, replenished throughout
- Cooling with air conditioners or mist fans, depending on the site and season
- A sign at the entrance
- Meals for mourners on request — the source is stated in the quotation
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
- The location: district, and a map link if possible
- Whether the majlis is inside the house or in a tent or plot beside it
- The rough number expected, and whether there is a men’s and a women’s majlis
- Start time and number of days
- What you need from the list above
What shapes the setup
- The place
- A majlis inside the house needs fewer chairs, less floor covering and less cooling than a tent on open ground, which needs flooring, sides and lighting.
- The number
- It sets the number of chairs and coffee servers and the amount of coffee, dates and water, and can be adjusted on the following days.
- The city
- It sets the arrival time and what may be needed if the tent stands outside the property line — see the next section.
- Setup time
- Installation is arranged before mourners arrive; removal after the last day, at a time the family chooses.
Working in Khor Fakkan
Our base is in Al Yarmook, Sharjah, and we serve Khor Fakkan; we confirm the arrival time when you call, according to the site. If the tent will stand outside the property line, the site requirements are checked with its management and the competent authority before confirmation.
In the Emirate of Sharjah, the Department of Suburbs and Villages Affairs offers a free “condolence organisation service” to the families of deceased citizens, on request: a suburb majlis hall or a condolence tent, with hospitality and signs (tel. 80039).

Condolence and majlis services across Khor Fakkan
The Khor Fakkan neighbourhoods we set up in, and what we plan for in each:
- Al Subaihiya — A suburb that takes in Al Lu'lu'iyah, Al Zubarah and Al Nakheel, between the sea and the mountains. We reach it from Sharjah over the Khor Fakkan mountain road, so loading starts early.
- Al Zubarah — The northernmost district of Khor Fakkan, on the coast, where the sea wind decides how we anchor tents and suspended lighting.
- Al Lu'lu'iyah — A coastal district close to the Khor Fakkan Corniche, with family homes and majlis suited to melcha and henna koshas.
- Al Nakheel — A residential district between the sea and the mountains in the Al Subaihiya suburb, with courtyards that fit a medium tent and outdoor seating.
- Hayawa — A suburb with its own municipal council, running from the residential streets up to the mountain foothills, so we use smaller vehicles on its sloping roads.
- Al Mudaifi — A residential district in the Al Hawami suburb, whose majlis suit indoor hospitality and a medium kosha.
- Al Bardi — In the Seih Al Khor suburb near the mountain foothills, with outdoor space suited to a marquee and extra power when needed.
- Al Harai — The suburb facing Al Subaihiya, with relatively open ground that allows tents and outdoor lighting.
