Gulf Today
|July 14, 2025
Under the patronage of Sheikha Bodour Bint Sultan Al Qasimi, Sharjah hosted a gala dinner at The Peninsula Paris Hotel to honour and celebrate the successful inscription of the Faya Palaeolandscape on the Unesco World Heritage List.
-
Faya Palaeolandscape was the only Arab nomination considered by the World Heritage Committee for its 47th session, making this achievement even more historic and meaningful for Sharjah, UAE and the wider region.
Moreover, Faya now stands as the second site in the UAE to receive this recognition, after The Cultural Sites in Al Ain that was inscribed in 2011.
The event gathered key figures from the World Heritage Committee, diplomatic representatives, and experts to reflect on this historic achievement.
Sheikha Bodour expressed pride in Sharjah's continuous efforts to inscribe Faya, and bring the site's instrumental role in shaping early human history to light.
Sharjah’s dedication to preserving Faya's legacy takes centre stage with Unesco World Heritage inscription, marking a historic milestone for the UAE and the region.
Sheikha Bodour, who is the official ambassador for Faya’s nomination file, spoke about the significance of this historic achievement and Sharjah’s commitment to preserving Faya’s legacy for future generations.
