Dubai, UAE, 11 January 2024: In cooperation with Sultan Bin Ali Al Owais Cultural Foundation, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Library is hosting a photo exhibition entitled 'The UAE Through a Photographer's Lens' by veteran Bahraini photographer Abdullah Al Khan. The exhibition, which is held from 9 to 31 January, showcases Al Khan's documentation of the essence of life in the UAE since 1963.
The exhibition features 43 rare photos from the history of the UAE, where Al Khan highlights life, public areas, and various details of roads, bridges, etc. in the UAE, in addition to documenting the activities of sheikhs, rulers, and officials. His photo, dating back to 1966, of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, is one of the most significant images of the exhibition and was later adopted as an official image of the ruler.
The Mohammed Bin Rashid Library's hosting of the exhibition reflects its commitment and appreciation for the partnership it has with Sultan Bin Ali Al Owais Cultural Foundation.
