PARIS (ALETIHAD)
The first-ever UAE Olympic House has been attracting a global audience in Paris.
On the sidelines of the Paris 2024 Olympics, the doors of the Emirati Olympic House were opened to visitors to experience Emirati culture.
A visit to the House takes you on a journey into the depths of Emirati culture through eight interactive areas, including “Al Sikka” (the starting place), “Al Majlis” (the welcoming place), “Al Liwan” (the communication place), “Al Midan” (the movement place), and “Al Hawa” (the play place), where each area provides unique experiences for visitors through augmented reality and digital interactions.
There is also the “Earth” space, where visitors can taste coffee and its flavours prepared by the sons and daughters of the UAE.
His Excellency Ghanem Mubarak Al Hajeri, Director General of the General Authority for Sports, said: “The Emirati Olympic House serves as a testament to the UAE’s sports ambitions and its commitment to the spirit of the Olympic movement.
The House makes you feel proud as an Emirati while touring its premises, and the idea of its establishment highlights our country’s leadership and its desire to enhance international cooperation and cultural exchange.”
