The Festival reflects the aspirations of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan to preserve the heritage of the UAE in particular and the universal heritage of world civilizations as a whole. The Festival features a dedicated area showcasing replicas of historic monuments and iconic buildings from each emirate, showing how Emirati society has evolved since ancient times and flourished into the prosperous, modern society of today.
‘The World in the UAE’ shows replicas of iconic international landmarks and world-famous cultural highlights, in addition to historic monuments and buildings from Emirati heritage. All this solidifies the UAE’s status as a crossroads of civilisations and echoes Sheikh Zayed’s vision of building a modern state that promotes a unified culture of tolerance and peace in the world.
