Fostering Community Spirit
Ferjan Dubai CEO Aliya Al Shamlan emphasized that 2025’s ‘Year of the Community’ highlights the role of traditions in strengthening Dubai’s social fabric. “Decorating homes is more than a festive gesture—it’s a way for residents to express their identity, take pride in their surroundings, and contribute to a joyful citywide atmosphere,” she said.
