In preparation for Mawlana Hazar Imam's Diamond Jubilee visit, the Ismaili Centre Dubai is vibrant with activity and excitement. Mawlana Hazar Imam will be visiting the United Arab Emirates on the official invitation of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. During his visit, Hazar Imam will meet with the UAE Jurisdiction Jamats.

Diamond Jubilee Visit Celebrations officially commenced today at the Ismaili Centre, Dubai. The courtyard was transformed to host Mulaqat Mela, where members of all ages joined in activities including calligraphy, dance and musical performances, card making, tasbih making, dandiya decorating and face painting in celebration of the forthcoming visit. Festive balloons, joyous music and the sweet scent of delectable snacks welcomed the Jamat all day. A spirit of unity and joy emanated through the air and was evidenced by the smiles on the faces of children and adults alike.

As we continue to prepare for this historic event, a UAE Visit site has been launched on The.Ismaili to keep the UAE Jamat up-to-date with key details of the event, including venue and transport information.
