Saeed bin Saqr Al Qasimi attends Sharjah Heritage Days

The festival lasts for three days and closes on 15 February. It features performances by traditional folk groups, hands-on heritage workshops, demonstrations by artisans and others practising traditional crafts, and cultural programmes and activities that help people learn about the area's rich history. Visitors to the festival will have a wonderful time learning about and experiencing traditional cultures.

Abu Bakr Al Kindi, who is in charge of the Sharjah Institute for Heritage, said that holding the event in the old Zubara area aligns with the institute's mission to bring cultural sites to life and emphasise their essential role in culture and history.

He pointed out that the festival in Khorfakkan has drawn a strong turnout from both residents and visitors. Senior members of the community have been especially important, sharing their knowledge and recounting stories that pass on local traditions to younger generations.

Al Kindi invited the people of Khorfakkan and surrounding areas to visit the festival over the coming days and experience the emirate’s vibrant cultural heritage firsthand.
