In the heart of the Arab heritage in the UAE and Egypt, the evening, which was organized the day before yesterday, dived into the pavilion of the Emirates Heritage Club at the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair, and brought together the Emirati poet and plastic artist Mira Al Qassim, and the researcher and poet Dr. Muhammad Shehata Al-Omda, accompanied by the playing and singing of the artist and poet Hassan Zaki, in the presence of the Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Arabic Language Council, Dr. Ali bin Tamim, and a group of poets, writers and creators.

Meera Al Qassim, who returns after a long break from cultural and poetic participations, presented a collection of her poems in the evening, which overflowed with clear sweetness, and reflected in their details varying feelings and interest in choosing the word, inspired by the local culture and heritage of the Emirates, to mix it with scenes from daily life in harmony.

She also presented a poem entitled "Ya Amaya", which was previously sung by the Tunisian singer Ghalia Ben Ali, and another in which she combined the Emirati and Egyptian dialects and was inspired by a text by the poet Amin Haddad.

For his part, Dr. Mohamed Shehata Al-Omda, presented poems in Egyptian colloquial dialect in the Upper Egyptian dialect, including poems from his book "Al-Aqili and Al-Yazi" (Egyptian squares for the tale of Emirati love), in which he was inspired by the Emirati story of Al-Aqili, which he found to be similar to the Egyptian Hilalian biography, which is one of the most prominent Arab folk epics, reflecting the similarity of Arab heritage in particular and humanity in general.

He also recited squares of waw poetry, an oral folk art handed down in Upper Egypt, usually accompanied by the playing of the rebaba.
