The Arab Reading Challenge was launched in 2015 by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, to encourage a million young people to read at least 50 books a year.
The Arab Reading champion is selected based on the pupil's ability to articulate general knowledge, their critical thinking and communication skills, plus the diversity of books they have selected.
Mohammed Ali Al Yamahi from Al Fujairah was declared the UAE winner of the Arab Reading Challenge 2022.
The challenge usually starts at the beginning of the academic year, around September, and continues until the end of the academic year.
The UAE winner is applauded.
Sheikh Mohammed will crown the global winner at a ceremony in Dubai in October.
Participants pose for pictures with their medals and certificates.
