Sheikh Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi opens on Friday evening the activities of the Sharjah Desert Theatre Festival.

His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and
Ruler of Sharjah, opened on Friday evening the activities of the 7th edition of the Sharjah
Desert Theatre Festival. Organised by the Department of Culture, the festival runs from 8 to
12 December, in Al Kihaif.

The festival began with a mesmerising performance of " Al Namous," a play written by Sultan
Al Neyadi and directed by Mohammed Al Ameri. The play was presented by the Sharjah
National Theatre, showcasing the incredible talent of some of the country's most renowned
theatre artists.

The play embodies the Emirati desert environment and emphasises the significance of
protecting the land and reputation, hence fostering a life of dignity within society. The play
elegantly captures the essence of the Emirati desert environment, emphasising the
importance of protecting the land and upholding honour to live a life of dignity and pride. It
also teaches important lessons about self-defence and courage that reflect the admirable
qualities of the people of this noble land.
