They serve as authentic media centers to understand people’s conditions, playing a crucial role in fostering cohesion among diverse members of society and connecting rulers with their people. The majlis holds a significant place in Emirati cultural heritage, considered an integral part of Emirati homes. Its content and functions make it a vital cultural and social meeting space for Emirati families across all levels, from individual households to the wider community. The majlis is a cornerstone of Emirati social structures, fulfilling important cultural and social roles. It stands as a living tradition that Emirati rulers and society members are committed to preserving, serving as a bridge for communication, dialogue, and the development of social relationships. Majlises are integral to the social fabric of the UAE, embodying traditions of solidarity, communication, hospitality, and generosity among its people.
