Sheikh Zayed Heritage Festival Draws to a Close – Showcasing a Rich Culture

Highlighting the rich culture of the UAE, the Sheikh Zayed Heritage Festival will come to a close this month. One of the main purposes of the festival is to help preserve the heritage of world civilisations with a special focus on the UAE. Inaugurated on 30th November 2018, this popular festival will close on 26th January 2019 at Al Wathba in Abu Dhabi. Spa hotel options in the region within easy reach of this area include Eastern Mangroves Hotel & Spa by Anantara and are well placed for tourists looking to catch the event before it closes.

One of the highlights of the Sheikh Zayed Heritage Festival was an attraction that showcased replicas of iconic structures and famous monuments of each emirate. Additionally, there was also a section which featured replicas of international landmarks too. The World Heritage Parade, camel riding, international folk arts performances, fireworks displays and Arabian horse shows were some of the other points of interest that were part of the festival.
