These efforts helped confirm the emirate’s advanced global position, surpasses many cities that are renowned for their heritage and cultural status."
Dubai Culture, as a leading stakeholder in the UAE Soft Power Strategy, is proactively working to spread Dubai’s culture across the world and promote its ‘Made in Dubai’ creative products and, thus, reinforcing the emirate’s distinct cultural identity to further strengthen its global reputation as a resilient nation capable of overcoming all challenges.
