Meanwhile, Etihad Museum's program promises an immersive journey through UAE history from 1968 to present day. Youngsters will engage in activities themed around national achievements and the UAE's union, offering insights into the country's cultural evolution.
At Al Fahidi Historical Neighbourhood, interactive workshops will focus on traditional building techniques, climate resilience, and local customs, providing hands-on experiences that enrich understanding of Dubai’s heritage.
Additionally, Dubai Public Library Summer Camps at various locations will foster innovation through workshops on smart farming, sustainable urban planning, and entrepreneurial skills. Participants will engage in creative projects and exhibitions under the guidance of renowned artists and educators.
