The three-day cultural event “Egypt and UAE…One Heart,” honoring the 50th anniversary of relations between the UAE and Egypt, was held in Cairo, Egypt, under the patronage of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi has come to an end, as informed by Minister of Culture and Youth Noura Bint Mohammed Al Kaabi.
The ministers from both nations, as well as representatives from industry and culture, as well as thought leaders and media people, attended the event. The tour of Al Kaabi began with a discussion on culture titled “Highlights of the UAE-Egypt Cultural Cooperation.”
She was joined by prominent cultural and media leaders from both nations, including Mohamed Salmaw, Dr. Nevin Al Kilani, the Egyptian Minister of Culture, Bilal Al Bodour, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Culture and Science Symposium in Dubai, and Dr. Nevin Al Kilani.
Al Kaabi shared her opinions about the two countries’ areas of cultural cooperation and how it affects people’s understanding of the Arab world throughout the session.
She emphasized that the partnership between the two nations has a solid foundation founded on decades of fraternal connections originating from the vision of the Founding Father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and added that it represents a unique and inspirational example of collaboration.
She also lauded the Arab Republic of Egypt’s leadership in the region’s different spheres of development, thought, culture, and the arts under President Abdel Fattah El Sisi. Every Arab has a special place in their heart for Egypt’s ancient history and civilization, which dates back millions of years. In the UAE, teaching Egyptian history is a required subject in schools. At every level, students are taught about the unique contribution of Egyptian authors, novelists, and filmmakers and are taught to respect these figures as well as other Egyptian cultural icons.
The “Secrets of Time” installation by artist el Seed encourages the visitor to enter and explore the brilliant world of the artistic installation just in front of the pyramids. Al Kaabi also went to the “Egypt and UAE…One Heart” shows at the Radio Cinema, Access Gallery, and Founder Spaces.
To learn more about the participating artists’ works, she met with a few of them. She also went to other museums and cultural establishments. She went to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, which, via its numerous unique collections of artifacts, offers a comprehensive glimpse of Egyptian civilization from prehistoric times through various centuries.
One of the most significant Egyptian and Arab museums since 1972, the Museum of Modern Egyptian Art exhibits unique works of art that span various generations and eras of time. It was on her itinerary.
The “Egypt and UAE…One Heart” event highlights the significance of the two countries’ long-standing ties. The basics of Arab unification and the strong people-to-people ties serve as the foundation for the two nations’ special form of bilateral relations. The event honors the long-standing close ties between the two friendly countries. The relationship between the two nations has grown closer over time and will continue to do so.
