Moscow the Great
From the distant days of the first prehistoric settlements to the modern industrial metropolis, this city has never ceased to stir the hearts of Russians and visitors from around the world. It’s rather difficult to speak of it without resorting to hyperbole and superlatives, especially if one was born here or has spent even a single day in its embrace. Moscow, multifaceted, multinational, loving and beloved, holds the secrets of history while simultaneously changing its face — eternally young and ancient at the same time. On this occasion, the great city shall become the centre of attraction for the participants for the Days of UAE Culture.
Moscow is a city that astounds with its grandeur, beauty, and hospitality. Under the leadership of Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, the Russian capital has been transformed into a modern metropolis, ready to welcome guests from all over the world, including those from the Middle East.
Red Square, the ancient, powerful heart of the city, impresses with its scale and majestic edifices, such as the Kremlin and St. Basil’s Cathedral. Guests of the Days of UAE Culture in Moscow will be enchanted by the beauty and history of this place. Not far from Red Square lies Zaryadye Park — a vibrant and unusual project that combines nature and modern technology — part of the programme to create a comfortable and attractive urban environment.

The city offers plenty of opportunities for shopping and entertainment. GUM, located on Petrovka Street, is a paradise for fashion and luxury enthusiasts. Here, guests of the Days of UAE Culture will be able to find exclusive brands and appreciate the high level of service.

And a visit to the Nikulin Circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard will provide unforgettable emotions and impressions for both adults and children.
