Mona Abdulla Al Ali

Mona Abdullah Al Ali: The Owner of the Only Heart That Loves Her Father, May God Rest His Soul.

This work is the fruit of the efforts of the writer's father, Abdullah Muhammad Suleiman Al Ali, one of the pioneers of Emirati folk heritage, a former member of the Fujairah Fishermen's Association, and one of the most prominent citizens who excelled in marine industries, especially the manufacture of the screen. He strove to adhere to his traditional Arabic profession and pass it on to his children.

These traditional industries represent the lives of the Emirati people in the past, and because those who do not have a past do not have a present, Abdullah Muhammad Suleiman was interested in reviving and protecting the UAE heritage, where this industry became a part of his daily life, so that the current of civilization does not drag it away and the new generation is unaware of those traditional crafts.

And because Abdullah Muhammad Suleiman Al Ali made his noble message the pursuit of achieving his goal of preserving the UAE heritage and teaching it to the generations, it is a source of pleasure for the writer to issue this book, which may be the first of its kind to talk about traditional crafts in the United Arab Emirates in Arabic and a foreign language, which allows foreigners and tourists to learn more about the UAE heritage and popular terms.
