Sharjah has announced a significant investment of Dh2 million to support research at the Faya world heritage site, situated near Mleiha at the foothills of the Faya mountain range. This ancient site is crucial due to its evidence of human life that dates back over 200,000 years, making it one of the most important archaeological locations in the region.
The grant is intended to facilitate advanced studies that provide deeper insights into early human history and prehistoric life in the area. Recently, the Faya site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list, underscoring its international significance.
During a special ceremony, Sheikh Dr Sultan, the Ruler of Sharjah, inaugurated a commemorative monument celebrating this distinguished status. He highlighted that the recognition plays a pivotal role not only in understanding regional history but also in contributing to the global narrative of humanity’s journey.
The Faya site continues to attract researchers and historians who are deeply engaged in uncovering its vast archaeological treasures. This new funding guarantees that both ongoing and future research projects will have the necessary resources to explore the site’s rich past comprehensively.
Sharjah’s dedication reflects its broader vision to preserve and promote its cultural heritage for the benefit of future generations. Stay tuned to Questiqa World News for more updates on this exciting development.
