UAE starts an initiative to investigate the connections between Arab and Andalusian cultures

In addition to seminars in Spain and the UAE, a show of Andalusian art will be held at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Center.

An investigation on the connections between Arabic and Andalusian cultures has been initiated by the UAE.

A number of cultural activities related to the project will highlight the joint history of Arabs and Spaniards.

The September premiere of “Andalusia: History and Civilization” will highlight the region’s contributions to global culture, the arts, and thought.

The celebrations, which will go through 2024, will include musical concerts and art exhibits.

The chairman of the “Andalusia: History and Civilization” committee, Mohammed Al Murr, stated that this initiative was born out of the UAE’s commitment to the world’s cultural legacy and its active participation in its protection, restoration, promotion, and global distribution.

It also aims to educate younger generations about the rich history of Andalusian civilization, including its contributions to humankind, culture, science, and society.

It also aspires to promote and improve the cohabitation and tolerance culture, which is the cornerstone of Andalusian civilization and is still relevant today.

One of the project’s attractions is an Andalusian art show that will open in November at Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque.

The effort will also include two cultural conferences that will highlight the finest of Andalusian literature, music, and art as well as the region’s contributions to science.

The initial of these will occur in Spain in September, and the second will take place in the UAE in February of 2024.

The National Library and Archives and the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Center coordinated the project.

The program’s organizers say one of its main goals is to highlight the long-standing historical connections among Spain and the Arab world.

Inigo de Palacio, Spain’s envoy to the UAE, said, “We knew that the endeavor would be able to capture the importance of the shared heritage and protect it with shared values.

Spanish still contains Arabic vocabulary, and famous buildings as the Alhambra castle or the Great Mosque of Cordoba serve as reminders of the common past.
