Wafi City: Register Before You Go
Wafi’s Halloween weekend brings games, challenges and a trick-or-treat trail, with children collecting passport stickers and treats at participating outlets. Khan Murjan Souk adds more stops to the hunt.
The costume competition runs from 4pm to 7pm on Saturday and Sunday, welcoming individuals and families of all ages. There’s room for a full family production if everyone’s willing to stay in character.
Activities begin at 4pm on Friday and noon on Saturday and Sunday. Register through the official Wafi event page before visiting, particularly for the costume competition.
Go for the shows at Times Square Center or follow the trail at Wafi. Either way, the costumes are getting an outing.
