The UAE Olympic House offers visitors a journey through Emirati culture with eight interactive areas,
including "Al-Sikka" (the starting place), "Al-Majlis" (the welcoming place), "Al-Liwan" (the
communication place), "Al-Midan" (the movement place), and "Al-Hawa" (the play place). Each area
provides unique experiences through augmented reality and digital interactions, showcasing aspects
of Emirati life, heritage, and hospitality. The "Earth" space allows guests to taste traditional Emirati
coffee, prepared by UAE nationals.
"The Emirati Olympic House serves as a testament to the state's sports ambitions and its commitment
to the spirit of the Olympic movement," said Al Hajeri. "It highlights our country's leadership and its
desire to enhance international cooperation and cultural exchange, welcoming diverse cultures and
fostering mutual understanding."
The establishment of the UAE Olympic House aligns with the vision of the country's founding leaders,
Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan and Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, promoting peace,
harmony, and coexistence. Under the leadership of UAE President, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed
bin Zayed Al Nahyan, this legacy continues, aiming to consolidate these values globally.
His Excellency Ghanem Mubarak Al Hajeri also praised the strong bilateral relations between the UAE
and France, emphasizing the role of UAE security personnel in ensuring the safety of the event. "The
UAE Olympic House not only showcases our culture but also strengthens UAE-French cooperation,
ensuring a secure and successful Olympic Games."
The UAE's participation in the Olympic Games, beginning with its first appearance at the Los Angeles
Olympics in 1984, has consistently demonstrated the nation's commitment to the Olympic Charter and
movement. The UAE Olympic House in Paris serves as a platform for sharing the values of inclusivity
and humanity, which are central to the Emirati identity, with the global community.
