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

prominent cultural destination. Linking the festival to ‘Al Murabbaa Tower’ and its authentic heritage

landmarks in Ajman.
The festival will present a wide range of artistic and cultural activities that blend technology and creativity and
exhibit the recent developments in the field of art technology. Furthermore, it will include live drawing sessions
and workshops for participants of all age groups, enabling them to meet and discuss with artists and explore and
