The rich culture and heritage of the UAE are a reflection of conventional Arab and Islamic beliefs. The majority of the region’s events and festivals are deeper interpretations of its culture. Thus, reserve your tickets to Sharjah if you’re looking for a way to fully experience the traditions of this nation. The first day of Sharjah Heritage Days begins today, and the schedule of events is extremely interesting.
Sharjah Heritage Days Witness Multiple Countries Participation
Not to boast but a total of 42 countries and their culture would be on display at this festival. 42 Arab nations as well as other countries from across the world will have their culture, cuisine, performances, and goods on display. The festival will run through March 21 in the Heart of Sharjah’s historic area.
Details about the most recent 20th edition of SHD have already been released by the organisers, Sharjah Institute for Heritage (SIH). The theme for this year’s event is “History and Creativity.” Events of SHD will be hosted in 12 other minor cities and sites in the emirate, in addition to the primary site of Heart of Sharjah with the assistance of 40 government departments.

The Bakers’ Quarter Is The Latest Addition
One of the lovely historical elements of this event’s offerings is the Bakers’ Quarter. A collection of bakeries that focus on preparing and selling freshly baked goodies from throughout the globe. A novel experience isn’t it? Moreover, SHD Kitchen will offer a live interactive culinary programme that allows viewers to converse with chefs while watching live cooking lessons.
The Cultural Café presents a program in addition to numerous intellectual talks, seminars on Emirati crafts and education, amusement, contests, and games. It is also inclusive of SHD’s cultural programmes, which are similar to those of its past sessions. Children can participate in five daily workshops. The options include the Al-Hakawati programme put on by the International Story School, and the Children’s Theatre at the Children’s Village.
There’s a lot more to this festival than you can imagine. So if you understand the real expression of the culture and heritage of Emiratis then there’s no better event to attend.
