Dubai: An international Arabic calligraphy
exhibition has opened here.
The 7th Dubai International Exhibition for Arabic Calligraphy was
opened Thursday by Federal National Council speaker Mohammed Al

He said the UAE leaders have been highly supportive of the
initiatives designed to develop and promote the art whose beauty
appeals to a global audience.
The eight-day exhibition, organised by tourism and commerce

the people and the rulers of the UAE, he said.
It features 42 selected works of 22 calligraphers from 12
countries, including Britain, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan, Iraq,
Syria, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Turkey and Iran.
