The event aims to showcase a variety of cultural and entertainment activities that will strengthen the splendor of Emirati heritage and culture, attracting tourists from the UAE and neighboring countries.

To quote Hala Badri, the director general of Dubai Culture, “There is a deep cultural and heritage value to this initiative, which is being held for the first time. It is a distinctive demonstration that reflects the spirit of oneness and diversity that Dubai as an Emirate exemplifies. It upholds our vision of highlighting the richness that people from various countries living here impart to the overall cultural identity of the Emirate. This is also reflective of the value of tolerance that UAE has adopted since its establishment. It provides visitors an opportunity to explore Dubai’s traditional side and this in turn helps us reinforce Dubai’s position as an epicenter of culture, an incubator of creativity, and a thriving hub of talent.”

Hatta Cultural Nights features folkloric paintings, folk songs, and folk dances by artists from not only the UAE but from around the world for building constructive cultural bridges between people of various countries.
