Hag Ellaila is a traditional Emirati celebration on the night before the mid of Shabaan (the 8th month of the Islamic Hijri calendar) where children visit neighbours chanting folk songs and collecting candy. Other GCC counties also celebrate it under different names such as Gergaian or "Garangaoo" & some celebrate it in the mid of the holy month of Ramadan (the 9th month of the Islamic Hijri calendar).
