  • Field Trip to “Juma Al Majid Center

    15 Japanese ladies paid the visit to “Juma Al Majid Center for Culture and Heritage” in Dubai. With the support of Dubai Women’s Association, ladies took a bus to Juma Al Majid Center. All participants were impressed by library, its modern system to restore the books, his collection and how Mr. Juma has been contributing to UAE society. A secretary of the center has taken us to all the parts of the center, including the special room filled with leather-covered historical manuscripts. It was a very meaningful trip for Ladies to know about his contribution.
