With a richness of culture in the region and a strong need to be on the international scene, we at the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority a mandate to promote, encourage and enhance the perception of Arts and Culture and it’s presence and position in not only the United Arab Emirates, but as well, in the region and more so to bring the ‘soul’ of Dubai and it’s vibrant existence to the world.

Subsequently, a collaboration had already been formed with the unique and creatively rich Reiss Engelhorn Museen of Mannheim to bring an exclusive collection of never before exhibited rare photographs to the region and more specifically Dubai. These images are of the Holy Lands from Mecca to Medina, from Jerusalem to Bethlehem and the Levant as well as Lebanon.
