The Al Noor Mosque, located on the Khaled lagoon at the Buhaira Corniche, is not only a spiritual and cultural landmark but also part of the social fabric that embraces the diverse culinary traditions of the Islamic world. The mosque itself is not a place where food is traditionally served or sold, but it is surrounded by a rich tapestry of food culture. During festivals such as Ramadan and Eid, one might find community iftars and charity meals, highlighting traditional Emirati dishes, as well as flavors from the many expatriate communities in Sharjah.
