Taaruf, currently in its 4th edition, will see over 660 Muslims from across the continent who will share their views of the religion, its customs and culture at the event under the title ‘Toward Human Happiness’.
There will be two free bus services by Mwasalat which will run from Burj Al Sahwah and Ruwi at 4 pm and return at 10 pm to help people reach the venue.
