Thousands of people are expected to visit Al Majaz Park for the event, which is one of the highlights on the emirate’s tourism calendar. The festival, from December 11 to 21, coincides with the F1 World Powerboat Championships on December 12 and 13. Organisers say this is particularly special for the emirate because it has been chosen as capital of Islamic culture for 2014. “As the Water Festival returns to Sharjah, the emirate – already known for its colourful festivals and events – is getting set for the year-long celebrations of it being chosen as the capital of Islamic culture for 2014,” said Khalid Jasim Al Midfa, director general of the Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority. “More than 100 special events and 24 projects have been lined up highlighting Sharjah’s tourism, heritage, culture, infrastructure.”
