The Fonoon Festival will run at 2 Royal Avenue from Friday 6 to Sunday 8 October
A three-day event celebrating the best of Arab culture in Northern Ireland is to be hosted in Belfast City Centre next weekend.
“The Arab community is growing here, we have immigrants from the Middle East like Syria, Lebanon, Palestine and then from African countries like Somalia, Sudan and Egypt,” Noua said. “We try to include everyone from our communities, it doesn’t matter if you are Irish, British or from anywhere, we want to try to dissolve that barrier between the cultures.
Nouha says recent reports of racially motivated hate crimes against people from Arab communities have only spurred her social enterprise group on to bigger and better things. “Sometimes the media pictures us as being very arrogant and not very open to anyone but that’s not the case.
