In an atmosphere full of heritage, in the city of Liwa, the gateway to the Empty Quarter desert, in the Al Dhafra region in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, the Liwa Date Festival is held every year, organized by the Cultural and Heritage Festivals and Programs Committee in Abu Dhabi
The festival embodies the committee’s strategy, whose programmes, festivals and events are inspired by the thought of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may God bless his soul, in preserving the ancient Emirati heritage and its continuity, especially palms and dates, which represent a mainstay of Emirati society and its inherited traditions. And emphasizing the role of wise leadership in consolidating the position of date palms, dates and dates as a symbol of the authenticity of the past, good for the present, and a guarantee for tomorrow.
