The Eastern Region Municipality has completed its preparations to welcome the holy month of Ramadan for the year 1447 AH, through the implementation of an integrated operational and beautification plan that included Ramadan decoration works in the cities of the Dammam metropolitan area.
The decoration works included the installation of 100 double-sided welcome banners, each 12 meters long, bearing Ramadan greetings. Additionally, 200 decorative elements, each four meters high, were installed on lighting poles along main thoroughfares to unify the visual theme and highlight the Ramadan identity in public spaces.
The municipality also implemented 216 illuminated structures reflecting the atmosphere of the holy month, alongside the installation of 1,900 linear meters of hanging LED decorative clusters in the form of pergolas on vital roads and streets. This was complemented by 400 linear meters of multi-colored LED structures and 400 decorative elements with geometric and heritage-inspired designs drawn from Ramadan themes.
The plan also included the installation of 154 lighting poles equipped with light chains, the implementation of 48 illuminated pergolas, and 13 ground-based decorative structures carrying welcoming phrases for the holy month. This contributes to creating a spiritual and aesthetic atmosphere in various neighborhoods of the metropolitan area.
The decorative elements were distributed across a number of vital roads and locations, most notably Prince Mohammed bin Fahd Road, Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz Road, Gulf Road, Dammam Corniche, Al Rakah Corniche, and Al Hamra Corniche. They also included Al Salam and Al Faisaliyah districts, as well as Prince Turki Road, King Salman Road, Corniche Road, North Al Khobar, the Sandy Beach, Jawar Square, Al Shumouh, and the Corniche Square in Al Khobar. The decoration works in Dhahran covered Prince Sultan Road, Prince Faisal bin Fahd Street, and Jeddah Street, ensuring the Ramadan identity reaches a wide geographical area within the metropolitan area.
All decoration works were implemented according to technical standards that consider material quality and installation safety, ensuring the sustainability of the elements throughout the holy month without affecting traffic flow or general safety requirements.
These efforts are part of the municipality’s strategy to enhance the urban landscape and improve the quality of life, by preparing an attractive and integrated urban environment that reflects the stature of the holy month and provides festive and spiritual atmospheres for residents and visitors during the days and nights of Ramadan.
