From the distant days of the first prehistoric settlements to the modern industrial metropolis, Moscow has never ceased to stir the hearts of Russians and visitors from around the world. Multifaceted, multinational, loving and beloved, it holds the secrets of history while simultaneously changing its face — eternally young and ancient at the same time. On this occasion, the great city became the centre of attraction for participants in the Days of UAE Culture.
Red Square, the ancient, powerful heart of the city, impresses with its scale and majestic edifices including the Kremlin and St. Basil’s Cathedral. Not far from Red Square lies Zaryadye Park — a vibrant project combining nature and modern technology, part of the programme to create a comfortable and attractive urban environment. From June 28 to July 2, a real oriental fairy tale unfolded on Manezh Square: the Days of UAE Culture gathered guests from the Emirates and the best of their traditions, turning the most central place of Moscow into an oasis for five days, featuring falconry shows, traditional dances, and Arabic gastronomy.
This cultural event organised by the UAE Embassy in Russia and the Moscow City Government offered a unique opportunity to experience the rich history and traditions of the UAE. The Moscow Metro, from its inception to the present day, is not only a convenient means of transportation but also a veritable underground museum, where each station has a unique design created by talented artists. Guests from the UAE will be pleasantly surprised by its beauty and efficiency.
Moscow cares for the environment, offering residents and visitors the opportunity to use eco-friendly transport including electric buses and the metro. For those seeking tranquillity, Moscow offers more than 900 parks and green spaces. The city is ready to extend a warm welcome and eagerly awaits guests from the UAE and other Middle Eastern countries. Citizens of the UAE and Qatar enjoy visa-free travel, while those from Iran, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia can obtain an electronic visa.
