Reaffirming its status as a global cultural capital and a guardian of heritage, Sharjah is preparing to host the second edition of the Tanweer Festival, which returns to the spectacular Mleiha Desert on 21, 22 and 23 November 2025.
Following the success of its debut event in 2024, the festival is bigger than ever with an impressive, expanded lineup of internationally acclaimed artists and facilitators, including world-famous singer and songwriter Emel Mathlouthi, who will headline the closing night. With more world-renowned names yet to be announced, this year's programme promises a transformative cultural journey where global artistry meets the timeless beauty of the Sharjah landscape.
THE 2025 CELEBRATION OF CULTURE: This year's Tanweer Festival is themed "What you Seek Is Seeking You," and draws inspiration from the wisdom of Rumi. Its vision encourages audiences to embark on an immersive journey of culture and heritage, with music, art, and nature woven into every experience. Over three days, visitors can expect a series of starlit concerts, inspiring workshops, and interactive art installations.
