The "Poetry Nights: Voices Loved by People" programme at the Al Dhafra Book Festival 2023, organised by the Abu Dhabi Arabic Language Centre, concluded with a poetry and singing session celebrating the poet Mubarak bin Yafour Al Ameri, who started his poetic journey when he was 13 years old, crafting verses marked by loyalty and patriotism, which led him to recite before the UAE leaders, engaging in a memorable poetic exchange with the late Sheikh Sultan bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Al Ameri discussed his life story, significant literary contributions, and sung poems in a session moderated by poet Obaid bin Qadlan Al Mazrouei, set to the music of Qusai Al Maamari's voice singing Al Ameri's most important poems.

On the other hand, and as part of the arts programme, participants in Kais Al Shaer's horse drawing workshop learned about prominent techniques for drawing horse forms and adjusting their proportions. Also, Aisha Al Mansoori’s artistic sculpture on al khous workshop taught participants how to draw on palm fronds, beginning with a small sketch and ending with a complete design that corresponded to each participant’s preferences.

In another workshop for drawing on fronds, led by the visual artist Meitha Al Mazrouei, participants were able to transform the broad lower part of the palm frond into beautiful artistic pieces by painting on the palm frond bases using colours and incorporating the mixed media art technique, while in the "Mixed Media" workshop, participants created paintings under the supervision of the artist Rana Al Masi, which included integrating drawing, utilising colours, and incorporating various environmental images.
