With 30 Emirati exhibitors and over 469 publications on display, the pavilion showcased the UAE’s cultural environment and strengthened the country’s standing as a global center for creativity, culture, and knowledge sharing.
Al Ayyala performances, Al Sheela, henna art, the Coffee House, Al Sadu weaving, and Emirati cuisine were among the more than 140 varied cultural events held at the UAE pavilion. There were also 23 panel discussions, the introduction of two new books, two book-signing events, artistic performances, workshops, and interactive experiences.
