The 14th edition of Sharjah Heritage Days, taking place in the Heart of Sharjah from April 7 - 23, wouldn't be complete without colourful folk performances and exciting storytelling sessions presented by members of the UAE's heritage community.
The festival, organised by the Sharjah Institute for Heritage, also allows attendees to take a closer look at the UAE's varied natural environment, including its mountains, sea, and desert, as well as it agriculture. People have the opportunity to learn about the different tools used by the nations' forefathers during fishing trips and pearl diving, and the machines used to farm, cultivate grain, harvest, and transport materials.
Over the course of the festival, the UAE folkloric arts and dance routines have attracted a large number of Emirati, Arab expat, and non-Arab heritage lovers. The public spends hours each day moving between the Heritage District's sites to watch various performances, such as Al Eyaleh, Al Malid, Al Souma, Al Tarij, Al Razif, Al 'Arda and Al Andima.
Commenting on the event, Abdul Aziz Almusallam, Chairman of the Sharjah Institute of Heritage, said, "There has been great demand by festival visitors this year for UAE folk performances. People of all ages and backgrounds are curious about the UAE's natural environment, its culture, and its traditions, and can find something they're interested in at Sharjah Heritage Days."
He continued, "This event is a way to introduce UAE customs to the international population, bring a sense of nostalgia to those who have lived here all their lives, and familiarise younger generations with the past in a vibrant and cheerful atmosphere.
