Sharjah 2013 Stamp Exhibition Opens
The 5-day event, now in its fourth year, brought together more than 50 leading stamp exhibitors, some 30 dealers who are displaying some of their most valuable collections.
The exhibition encompasses a wide-reaching range of philately themes spanning two centuries, displaying some of the world’s most extraordinary and elusive stamps at almost 128 exhibits. It chronicles milestones in the UAE’s four-decade history. Topics range from 19th century Egyptian postal stationary to the earliest days of postal aviation.
"Philately is a pursuit enjoyed all around the world, bringing collectors together to exchange not only stamps but also ideas. It offers a unique way to look at our history," said President of Emirates Philatelic Association, Abdulla Khouri.
