Al-Duroor calculations
The content has been arranged and designed in a way that can be easily accessed and understood by people of all age groups.
The ancient astronomical system called Deirat Al-Duroor Wa Al-Tawala’a aims to impart knowledge about the UAE’s tradition and heritage, as well as revive the skills and wisdom deployed by the ancestors of the UAE.
The ancient system is based on dividing the days of the year in decimals into 36 sections. Each section includes 10 days known as “Dur” that relates to zodiacal and climatic conditions, allowing people to know the appropriate times for planting and harvesting, climatic variables such as winds and rain, breeding seasons of fish and appropriate times for fishing, as well as the migration of wild birds and sea birds.
Al-Duroor calculations are linked with the rise of the Suhail star. The Centre had previously formed a specialised committee to monitor and document the star because of its significance in these calculations, as well as in the study of meteorology and astronomy.
