In the aspect of heritage art, the Qalawa Qalansiyah troupe, which is the second traditional artistic group to arrive at the festival after the Dam Al-Akhwen troupe, presented artistic paintings of a Socotra heritage. Socotra is unique to Yemen.
The participation of the Socotra Governorate pavilion comes at an official invitation from the festival management and the cooperation and support of the Khalifa Humanitarian Foundation, which is always keen to support the presence of the people of the island in regional and international forums.
Socotra’s participation in the Sheikh Zayed Heritage Festival in Wathba is of great importance in promoting the island from the environmental, tourism and cultural aspect, and introducing their island and its cultural and environmental capabilities and qualified tourist reserves that make it one of the most attractive places for tourism in the world.
On the official and societal level on the island, there is great praise for what the brothers in the United Arab Emirates do for Socotra in various fields, including participation in international and international forums, where the Sheikh Zayed Heritage Festival is one of the most important great opportunities for the people of Socotra to present their culture and civilization to the world and promote it tourism through it.
