Sharjah University City Shines With Sparkling Lights To Celebrate Role Of Science, Knowledge & Culture In Building Future Generations

The Sharjah University City is witnessing a spectacular display of light, decorated with glittering lights that celebrate the role of science, knowledge and culture in building generations and future pioneers. The event is held under the patronage of His Highness (H.H.) Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah and will continue until February 17. This year’s event features four distinct locations in Sharjah University City including Dr. Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi Center, Sharjah University City Campus Avenue, Sharjah Police Academy and the University City Hall.

Magnificent towers of lights illuminate an important icon of Sharjah’s architecture – the Dr. Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qasimi Centre, under the theme ‘Monoliths Landing in Sharjah’ in an astonishing opening show, an illuminated story through time eulogizing the development of Arab heritage, history, culture and their affinity to time and space through the ages.  The interplay between colors, light and dark will be a constant invitation to stroll and discover the richness of the architectural details. The structural splendors of the building stand out with the most advanced of light technology in a video mapping show that will awe all who experience it.

The Sharjah University City Campus Avenue is festooned with more than 500,000 of LED pixel lights covering 4 km on both sides, and is the longest and biggest avenue in the history of light festivals worldwide.
