Fujairah to host first International Arts Festival

The emirate of Fujairah is stepping up its cultural offerings with the introduction of its first  International Arts Festival this month, hosted by the Fujairah Culture and Media Authority.

The festival will run from the February 19 – 29 and will incorporate the Monodrama Festival while opening its doors to international musicians, theatrical companies and dancers.

Nour Arjaan by Rotana has been named the main sponsor of the International Arts Festival.

Speaking at a media conference last week, Ghyath Fawaz, hotel manager of Nour Arjaan by Rotana, said: “Nour Arjaan by Rotana is very proud to be a main sponsor of this prestigious event aimed at promoting art, culture and tourism across the emirate. The impact of this event will have a significant influence on the community of Fujairah and we are very excited to welcome artists, actors and musicians from cross the globe. As a company, Rotana has always been dedicated to the development of arts and culture and this festival is the perfect opportunity for Nour Arjaan to get involved in highlighting not only Fujairah’s unique culture but also opening new doors to newcomers who have never experienced the beauty and scenery of the area.” – TradeArabia News Service
