Poetry Nights: The Sung Poetry Programme

In celebration of the figures of Nabati poetry and their legacy of timeless sung poems that have become famous locally and in the Arab World over the past few decades, and for the second year in a row, the Al Ain Book Festival dedicates a full programme to honouring poets of the sung poems from Al Ain and beyond, whose sung poems are well-known among various segments of society.

Poetry Nights inspired by poets will be held at Al Jahili Fort as part of the Festival's extensive and varied programme and will take place throughout the days of this edition.

Children and Youth Programmes

The programme includes everything related to children's and youth's culture and raising the next generation, as well as activities that excite them, contribute to their growth, and develop their skills within a diverse entertaining and educational framework.
