(MENAFN- Orient Planet Group) Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Ammar bin

Humaid Al Nuaimi, Crown Prince of Ajman and Chairman of the Executive Council, the Ajman
Tourism Development Department (ATDD) launched the second edition of the ‘Al Murabbaa

Arts Festival.’ The festival, held from December 13 to 16 2024 in the Ajman Heritage District,
will convene local and international artists in a global cultural art event.

The festival was named after ‘Al Murabbaa Tower,’ the most famous tourist attraction on

Ajman Corniche. Built in the 1930s under the guidance of the late Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid
Al Nuaimi, it served as a watchtower for those coming to Ajman from the southwest and
provided security for the city’s residents and passersby. The name was given to celebrate the

cultural heritage and preserve the legacy left by the founding fathers, which enhances the
Emirati identity among the younger generations and consolidates the emirate’s position as a

prominent cultural destination. Linking the festival to ‘Al Murabbaa Tower’ and its authentic
heritage connotations reflects the department’s belief in the importance of preserving heritage

sites and cultural landmarks in Ajman.
