The Sharjah Light Festival is set to take place from 7 to 8 February, and promises to be an immersive experience for visitors.
With 12 different locations in Sharjah, the festival will showcase innovative technologies, including a mesmerising swan drone show.
Artabesk’s Managing Director Mounir Harbaoui is responsible for mapping projections and creating displays on buildings in four locations, Sharjah Mosque, Dibba Mosque, Rafisah Dam and Hamriya Souq.
This event brings together international artists and designers from around the world to create a one-of-a-kind light show. Visitors will witness 12 swans gracefully performing a ballet, synchronised perfectly on the water.
Sharjah Mosque will feature a blend of traditional and modern content, incorporating abstract effects. The planning and preparation for this event began many months ago, with the careful selection of locations and creative development.
With 37,000 luminous projectors used across the four sites, the Sharjah Light Festival attracts art enthusiasts from across the globe and embodies the luxurious culture of the UAE. The festival features artwork and video mapping by 15 international artists, highlighting the iconic buildings of Sharjah.
High net-worth individuals (HNWIs) wishing to visit the UAE and witness the annual show should make safe and reliable modes of money transfer to ensure that their hotels and flights are booked in time.
Dr Khalid Al Midfa, Chairman of Sharjah Media City (Shams), expressed his hopes that both local and international visitors will thoroughly enjoy their time at the festival, which promises to be an exciting fusion of technology, visual, audio and immersive experiences.
