Al-Ayyala, a traditional art of representation & Masdar, the Future’s City
Al-Ayyala was inscribed in 2014 on the representative list of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity by UNESCO. Perhaps the best-known traditional show in the UAE, Al-Ayyala is an expressive traditional cultural performance performed by men and boys who hold thin bamboo canes and move in unison to a steady rhythm of drums. The Al-Ayyala uses troupes of dancers, poetry, songs and drummers and is performed at weddings, national holidays and other celebrations, as well as at ceremonies welcoming chiefs of State visiting.
Deeply embedded in the culture of the United Arab Emirates, Al-Ayyala embodies the ethics and bravery of Bedouin life and reinforces the values of dignity and honor. The show, which reflects the heritage and values of Emirati culture, has become a symbol of national identity and unity and is an integral part of the celebrations.
