Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding (SMCCU) is a non-profit organisation established to increase awareness and understanding between the different cultures that live in Dubai.

Established under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum in 1998, the Centre operates under the banner of “Open Doors. Open Minds.” and strives to remove the barriers between people of different nationalities raising awareness of the local culture, customs and religion of the United Arab Emirates.

“When people arrive in the UAE, many do not know what to expect nor do they have a real understanding of Emirati culture. In fact, there are many expatriates who have lived and worked in the UAE for years and are yet to meet an Emirati,” says SMCCU’s Director and Founder, Mr. Abdullah Bin Eisa Al Serkal.

The programmes offered by SMCCU can help explain the customs, culture, religion and etiquette of the people of the UAE within the context of understanding Emirati life.

Our sole aim is to welcome non-Emiratis into UAE culture and give them a chance to truly integrate within Emirati society enhancing the working and living experience of those visiting and residing in the UAE.

During the visit, guests engage with an Emirati host and are encouraged to ask questions about local customs and the heritage of the UAE. In keeping with the Centre’s motto “Open Doors. Open Minds.” , no topic of interest is off limits.

Ramadan Programme

The Iftar Dinners are a seasonal event held in the holy month of Ramadan. During September 2011, SMCCU invited guests to join a traditional “breaking-of-the-fast” meal at our house in Bastakiya.

This month long event strives to give visitors and expatriates a glimpse of the Islamic tradition of fasting and prayer. Following the meal, guests are guided on a casual after dark walk around the beautiful and historical Bastakiya neighbourhood.The evening closes with a visit to the Diwan Masjid in the Bastakiya which is frequented by local worshippers preparing for the evening prayers.

Jumeirah Mosque Visits

Over the past twelve years, the Jumeirah Mosque has become a focal point for SMCCU’s “Open Doors. Open Minds.” programme as well as our newest campaign “The Freedom to Ask” where visitors are free to inquire about the culture, traditions and religion of the people of the UAE without restraint.

SMCCU launched a campaign in 2010 offering customised Cultural Partnership Programmes to all institutions wishing to enhance their current induction for new arrivals and current UAE based staff. These programmes contribute towards fulfilling corporate social responsibility objectives and provide staff with exceptional experiences and insight into the local customs and culture of the UAE. Each cultural programme is unique and focuses on the objectives outlined by individual corporations. Sessions are held in the Bastakiya as well as in house company venues. Participants can engage in activities from Cultural Meals, Heritage Tours, Mosque Visits and Arabic Classes.

UAE based companies who choose to partner with SMCCU can be sure that their employees will directly benefit from cultural awareness training, which is proven to enhance the workplace environment and help companies attain success.
