In the opening speech, Al Owais announced that His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, has allocated a financial deposit that covers all operating expenses, including workers’ wages and treatment of residents in the home.
He toured the home accompanied by the attendees and listened to a detailed explanation about the home and its facilities and services.
Egyptian artists appreciated the patronage of His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah for art. Furthermore, they thanked His Highness for his support in establishing a nursing home for elderly Egyptian artists. A number of them pointed out the house is like a sanctuary for artists, especially since some do not find a home at the end of their careers.
At the nursing home entrance, a plaque was installed in which a word of thanks and appreciation of Egyptian artists to His Highness, the Ruler of Sharjah, was written.
