SUMMARY:Al Hosn Festival
DESCRIPTION:Two weeks of Emirati culture\, past and present – “a living expression of Abu Dhabi’s cultural heritage” – in what is probably the traditional heart of Abu Dhabi. \nBuilding on the success of the last festival\, the 2025 event sees the return of the traditional crafts area Makers Space – “through a rich programme of workshops\, talks and design showcases\, guests can learn skills for camping\, adventure and navigating the environment\, and explore how a deep history of life lived in harmony with the landscape is echoed in fresh approaches to design in the UAE today”. \nAlso returning is the Gahwa Championships for the preparation of traditional Arabic coffee; House of Artisans will present Al Teeb\, a celebration of traditional Emirati perfumery; and isitors can also learn more about Emirati culture with Sanad Al Sanaa\, a play showcasing national values like hospitality\, solidarity and cooperation.  \nThe festival’s rousing main show\, created in partnership with Abu Dhabi Heritage Police\, brings together shadow-play projections\, grand poetry recitals\, and a performance of the traditional Al Tcholeeb – horseriders chant poetry in rhythm with their horses’ hooves as they celebrate their victorious return to Qasr Al Hosn. \nNew this year is a Women’s Majlis\, rooted in the desert environment\, and a chance to get up close and personal with the hunting animals of the region. There are performances\, souks\, F&B\, arts and crafts\, family workshops\, camels\, poetry\, film\, gaming\, fashion\, and more … \nThe full programme is here. The festival open 4pm to 11pm every day. \n  \n  \n \n
