The Sharjah Heritage Days festival which is currently on in the emirate is a great opportunity to go back in time and be a part of history. Sharjah, and the UAE, have a very rich cultural heritage of which all of us should be proud. Its emergence as the cultural capital of the Arab World is a testimony to the tireless efforts of the leadership in promoting and recognising the importance of culture in our lives.
With a large number of museums and designated heritage areas, the emirate offers a good opportunity for the intellectual as well as the novice to go behind the scene and experience its heritage and culture.
Efforts are being made to showcase the lifestyle associated with the different terrains in the UAE — the coastal, agricultural, mountainous and Bedouin. This is apart from the usual variety of activities, including workshops, traditional dances and performances.
In short, this festival is a must-see for all residents and visitors to the UAE.
