The ninth
annual Ras Al Khaimah Arts Festival (RAKFAF) will take place in February with more than 100 regional and international artists participating.
The 2021 iteration bears the theme of hope. The festival includes outdoor art and photography exhibitions, workshops, film screenings and the launch of an oral history project around the historic pearling village of Al Jazirah Al Hamra, which is where the festival has been taking place for the last two years. Built around the 14th century, the town is remarkable for its architecture, with buildings made using traditional materials such as coral, mud and date palms.
