Eid Al Adha: Henna designs set to leave an impression

Dubai - "Our objective this Eid Al Adha is to provide mall-goers with a taste of this art form which is deeply rooted in the heritage of the UAE and the region."

Henna designers have been invited to express their artistic inspirations between September 17 and 26. Visitors to Dubai Festival City can enjoy complimentary henna art inspired by Arab, African, Indian and Moroccan culture as part of the mall's Eid Al Adha celebrations.
And children can have their favourite cartoon characters designed on their hands.
"Our objective this Eid Al Adha is to provide mall-goers with a taste of this art form which is deeply rooted in the heritage of the UAE and the region," said Brad Merchant, General Manager at Dubai Festival City. In collaboration with Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), Dubai Festival City will host many Turkish performances, including traditional whirling dance performances by home-grown band Sema and Semah.
Festival City will also partner with Dubai Culture to turn its main events atrium, Festival Square, into a cultural village in which traditional Emirati arts and crafts will be displayed and available for sale to all customers.
