The Department of Culture and Tourism in Abu Dhabi has taken a significant step to preserve the emirate’s cultural heritage by introducing traditional bands certificates. These certificates will set standards and requirements to ensure that performances in Abu Dhabi genuinely represent the rich Emirati culture.

These certificates will be awarded to bands and troupes that perform traditional arts following a thorough evaluation process. Their purpose is to regulate performances by traditional bands and troupes during official and celebratory events, ensuring that the emirate’s cultural heritage is faithfully represented. This move aligns with the Department’s ongoing efforts to protect and promote Abu Dhabi’s cultural legacy.
