Dubai Culture has launched a comprehensive programme to activate Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, a new effort to celebrate the district’s rich history and culture while enhancing its appeal as a destination for visitors. The programme will run until the end of December, offering a dynamic calendar of panel discussions, interactive workshops, and community talks that bring local traditions and crafts to the forefront.

Through this initiative, Dubai Culture places a strong emphasis on engaging families and children in the preservation of the UAE’s heritage. This includes a series of ‘Family Workshops’, hosted on the first Saturday of every month. Among the highlights is the ‘Doors of Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood’ session, taking place on 28 June, designed to help children explore the artistic features, intricate details, and aesthetic elements of the district’s distinctive doors. The ‘Live Demonstrations of Emirati Crafts’ programme offers a rich journey of knowledge, featuring workshops and experiences that allow visitors to explore the secrets, types, and diverse techniques of traditional handicrafts.
