What is Majlis (مجلس)?
Majlis - is an ancient Arabic word derived from the verb meaning "to sit". Traditionally, it refers to a place where people gather to sit together, welcome guests, share stories, exchange ideas, strengthen relationships, and discuss important matters.
More than a physical space, the majlis is a timeless symbol of hospitality, dialogue, wisdom, and community that remains at the heart of Emirati culture. For centuries, the majlis has been a place where people gather to exchange ideas, discuss important matters, welcome strangers, and strengthen communities.
Majlis Editions revives this tradition—not as a performance for visitors, but as a living space for dialogue between cultures.
