Held in the heritage village in Wadi Al Helo region, the event included a heritage exhibition where pavilions exhibited the folklore of the two brotherly countries.

Speaking about the event, Al Suwaiji told “Sharjah 24” that celebrating the folklore of the two countries is an embodiment of the convergent cultural component, and a consolidation of customs, traditions, and folklore.

He added that the event comes as part of the department's series of programmes during the last quarter of this year, and is scheduled to be organised in various cities and regions of the Eastern Region, along with a number of cultural and artistic programmes, including puppet shows for children, shadow theatre, a cultural evening, and poetry readings.
