Kulwant Singh, Managing Director of Lama Tours, recently welcomed Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Culture, Youth and Community Development, to Guru Nanak Darbar at Jebel Ali, Dubai.

As the first visit by a sheikh to the temple, which opened in January 2012, Sikhs across Dubai celebrated it as a momentous occasion. Shaikh Nahyan hailed the Guru Nanak Darbar as a symbol of the multiculturalism of the UAE.

Likening the UAE leadership’s vision, which welcomes people of all faiths and ethnicities to the country, to that of Indian Emperor Akbar, Shaikh Nahyan called the UAE a cradle of all faiths, and described the Guru Nanak Darbar as “the most beautiful Sikh temple after the Golden Temple of Amritsar”.
