Ajman, UAE, December 11, 2024: 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.
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
