The Highest Hand-Painted Portrait Exhibition in the World
In tribute to the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan ‘may his soul rest in peace’ and in loyalty to the father and founding leader, the Zayed Al-Khair online platform team established the highest hand-painted art exhibition in the world on the occasion of the Year of Zayed.
The exhibition was set up at the summit of Mera Peak, towering at 6,470 meters in the Himalayas. It featured seven hand-painted portraits of the late Sheikh Zayed, symbolizing the seven emirates of the United Arab Emirates.

“The new generation should be aware of the suffering of his ancestors. This awareness will provide them with drive, firmness and solidity in order to complete the epic of construction and development initiated by our fathers and ancestors. This odyssey of accomplishments and contributions is an embodiment of our national ambitions after decades of disarray, backwardness and deprivation.”

The Road to the Summit of Mera Peak:
By the grace of God, the Zayed Al-Qimmah team successfully reached the highest point of Mera Peak at 6,470 meters. However, due to strong winds, they were unable to hold the exhibition at that altitude. Instead, they descended slightly and successfully set up the final exhibition at 6,210 meters, where they received an officially certified recognition for their achievement from the Government of Nepal.
