Cultural Carwan
Conceived in 2019, Cultural Carwan is an Abu Dhabi-based organization dedicated to promoting Indo-Pak culture in the UAE, catering to the large South Asian population.
Cultural Carwan’s vision aligns with the UAE’s distinctive culture, which is founded on "progressive and moderate Islamic values" and embraces tolerance and diversity.
We organize premium cultural events, including Mushairahs, Sufi music, storytelling, dastangoi, literary discussions, theatrical acts, and plays.
Cultural Carwan gained recognition with its first event, “Sukhanwar Bahut Achchhe,” held in Dubai in 2019, which has now become an international Mushairah brand.
