Sahara Centre, the leading family shopping and entertainment destination in the UAE and one of Sharjah’s prominent landmarks, has generated an encouraging response from the shoppers for its much-anticipated Ramadan Charity auction.

The shopping centre, one of the first malls to organise an auction for charity during the holy month of Ramadan, has seen unprecedented crowds for the two charity auctions held over the last two weeks. The last two Ramadan charity auctions are scheduled to be held over the next two Thursdays.

Given the enthusiastic response to the auction in the first two weeks, the third and fourth weeks are slated to be a runaway success. The third charity event, due on October 11, is expected to witness large crowds as the last car will be auctioned off. The last auction, on October 18, will witness the auction of the 19th Century Holy Quran manuscript, which is another collectors’ item.

At the second charity auction, held on October 4, a vast array of luxury products, including Chevrolet Aveo LS Sedan Auto, LG 42-inch LCD TV plus Home Theatre system, special Umra packages, Merlin Mobile Theatre Pro, LG Notebook PC, Sony Playstation 3 and intricately-designed artifacts and handicrafts went under the hammer.

The bidding price for the artifacts and handicrafts started at zero while the auction for the other luxury items commenced at half of their respective market value.
