Sheikh Dr Sultan arrived by motorcade at the University of Coimbra with Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi and a large delegation to inaugurate the Centre for Arabic Studies.

Locals at the university, part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, peered from windows and snapped photos as the Sharjah National Band performed traditional music and Sheikh Sultan led the Sharjah procession into Coimbra’s Faculty of Letters building.

“The new centre will be a space for dialogue and research, strengthening the academic, scientific and cultural ties between the University of Coimbra and cultural institutions in the Arab world,” said Amilcar Falcao, rector at the University of Coimbra.
