Sharjah24: As part of its ongoing efforts to preserve cultural heritage and strengthen national identity, the Sharjah Institute for Heritage (SIH) organised a field tour in Kalba for master’s students on the University of Sharjah’s Cultural Heritage Conservation Management programme, as part of its “Memory of the Road” campaign. The initiative provided an interactive learning experience that combined theoretical knowledge with practical application.

The Kalba branch of the institute introduced students to the most prominent heritage landmarks, highlighting their historical, cultural, and social significance and reflecting the richness of local heritage. The tour also included interactive activities and visits to key sites and museums, including Sayed Rashid Al Nahm Museum and the Crafts House (Bait Al Walida Fatima Al Marashda).

The programme helped raise awareness of the importance of preserving the memory of place, strengthened cultural appreciation, and reinforced a sense of belonging among younger generations.

The tour concludes the current series of field visits under the campaign, with activities set to resume in the winter season later this year.
