Date Festival

The festival celebrates the date harvest and the agricultural riches of Abu Dhabi as one of the most important pillars of authentic Emirati heritage.

It is also a business gathering opportunity for local farmers. The Festival was very interesting, Sally arranged for a guide to take us around so we could obtain extra knowledge of what goes on at the festival.

The festival is held over a 20,000 square meters area and hosts every year between 60,000 to 70,000 visitors who can enjoy multiple artistic and cultural activities such as traditional Emirati souq, art workshops, and competitions, including best dates, lemons and mangoes.Read more
