About the Monument

The monument represents one of the oldest Emirati folk arts that Emiratis have known for a long time, which is the art of Al Ayala, an expressive performance art practiced primarily by males, of all age groups, in addition to the participation of a number of females called “Al Naashat”.

The monument was designed with stainless steel with a polished metal finish fixed to a concrete base covered with marble; so that it can withstand for 10 years in the place designated for its display on Nami Island.

About Al Ayyala Art

AlAyyala Art is a vibrant performance art celebrated during festivals, national occasions, and weddings, expressing pride in national values and historical moments in the UAE through famous poems and folk literature. Emirati citizens eagerly participate by forming lines to perform, known as "Al-Razifa," while swaying and waving sticks called "Al-Khayzarine" in rhythm with the music and poetry. This art form embodies a harmonious flow and has inspired popular sayings, such as: "The beating is according to the Razif."
