A group of nine Dar al-Athar al-Islamiyyah (DAI) friends took a short trip to Abu Dhabi, from the 26th to the 28th of January 2023. The trip was aimed at visiting “Bollywood Superstars,” at the Louvre Abu Dhabi, where items from The al-Sabah Collection were displayed on loan as part of this temporary exhibition. The group also had the privilege of visiting several cultural and historical attractions that offered a rich and diverse representation of the UAE’s heritage. These visits were an eye-opening and educational experience that allowed the group to better understand the cultural and historical significance of the city and its people.
The cultural trip to Abu Dhabi was a truly enriching experience that offered a deeper understanding of the city’s heritage and cultural diversity. The museums and historical sites visited by the group, including the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Qasr Al Hosn, Qasr Al-Watan and the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, provided a wealth of information and insights into the country’s past, present, and future. This trip was made possible by the moral support and encouragement of DAI, as part of their mission of advocating Art and Culture.
