Organised by the Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) in cooperation with the Dibba Al Hisn Municipality, the festival offers a vibrant cultural experience that reflects the authentic heritage of the Eastern Coast and the UAE's age-old tradition of salting fish.

Visitors and participants praised the efforts invested in organising this year's festival, noting that the availability of integrated services enabled an engaging experience across its diverse pavilions, including the central Al Maleh Market, the dining area serving authentic traditional cuisine, and the local agricultural product displays.

This year's edition has recorded exceptional growth, with participation exceeding 100 exhibitors representing government entities, private sector companies, leading brands, local families, and entrepreneurs involved in the Al Maleh (salted fish) industry.
