Mawlana Hazar Imam commenced his Golden Jubilee visit to the United Arab Emirates in the country’s capital, Abu Dhabi. Upon his arrival, Mawlana Hazar Imam was received by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Hamdan Al Nahyan and leaders of the UAE Jamat. Shortly after his arrival, Princess Zahra and Prince Rahim also arrived in Abu Dhabi for this visit, and were welcomed by senior government officials and leaders of the Jamat.
Meanwhile, in Dubai, in joyous anticipation of Hazar Imam’s arrival, Golden Jubilee celebrations have commenced with social and cultural activities taking place every evening. Thousands of members of the international Jamat have arrived and are enjoying the warm hospitality of the Gulf Jamat, while volunteers continue to work behind the scenes, laying the groundwork for the Golden Jubilee Darbar and the Opening Ceremony of the Ismaili Centre Dubai.
