sports ambitions and its commitment to the spirit of the Olympic movement. The house makes you feel proud
as an Emirati while touring its premises, and the idea of its establishment highlights our country’s leadership
and its desire to enhance international cooperation and cultural exchange by welcoming the countries of the

world and different cultures for more communication and getting to know our identity, heritage, environment,
customs, and traditions.”

The UAE Olympic House represents the country and its leadership’s desire to enhance international
cooperation and cultural exchange. It invites the world to engage with and learn more about our rich cultural
heritage, environment, customs and traditions.

His Excellency pointed out that “The UAE Olympic House is an extension of the vision of the country’s

founding father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who
advocated for peace, harmony, coexistence and communication with different peoples of the world. Under the
leadership of UAE President, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, this approach continues
aiming to promote and consolidate these noble values through a farsighted vision and pioneering future

directions.”
