The Al Saif traditional sword competition doesn’t get rolling until 7.30-8pm but the Heritage Souq gets into swing from 5pm and the food and drink souq is selling traditional Emirati fare.Make sure you get along early because there are lots of things to see and taste before the main event gets underway.
The heritage café offers not so much an entire dinner but more the traditional desserts, sweets and drinks.
There’s a traditional majlis (sitting area) and a traditional coffee shop/café to rest your feet while you lift your sugar level.
This is a good place to get a photo taken of you on a majlis, enjoying traditional Emirati food.

Sadly many of the qualifying swordsmen will be cut like a sword from the competition by tonight (Thursday night) and then the tension will build for the final rounds which commence Friday 5 November 2010.
