The 16 buses serve four routes and are making 60 trips per day at performance timings, said Abdul Aziz al Jarwan, Director of Transportation at the RTA.

With a five minutes headway, a first bus route will serve Al Layyeh (government buildings), while another bus will stop at the Khalid Lagoon Corniche. Both bus routes operate from 6pm to 8pm.

Every 15 minutes another bus route will serve the area behind the Islamic market from 6pm to 8pm, while a fourth bus will stop in front of the National Park en route to Sharjah International Airport every 30 minutes from 5pm to 7pm.

The performance tells the story of the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) from his birth until his death.
