He showed the GAIAE's most prominent achievements, strategic plans, preparations, and programmes during the Holy Month of Ramadan, in the presence of Authority officials.

“This year's Ramadan comes under the "Year of the Family" initiative launched by The President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan.”, Dr Al Darei stated during the GAIAE's media briefing for 2026, noting that it designed its plan to welcome the Holy Month taking into account family and community values, through programmes and initiatives which include all components of the Emirati home, while utilising the best technical and digital means and qualified human resources, and in cooperation with various partners at the federal and local institutional levels.

He explained that the GAIAE started its preparations for this season several months ago, by qualifying its human cadres and preparing mosques and their facilities to ensure the best services, with the support of the wise leadership.
