The event offers a blend of cultural, heritage, and entertainment experiences, including classic car displays, motorbike tours, and workshops on astronomy, Arabic calligraphy, and traditional crafts such as Talli embroidery, Sadu weaving, Burqa sewing, and palm frond weaving. These workshops, led by skilled artisans, also include a dedicated space for traditional children’s games, designed to enrich their experiences and introduce them to the region's rich heritage. As part of Dubai Culture’s support for the Hatta Winter Festival initiative under the Dubai Destinations campaign, Hatta Cultural Nights will host a traditional market showcasing creations by local families and entrepreneurs. The market reflects their commitment to heritage while also featuring a variety of innovative products from creative talents, empowering them to present their work to the community and strengthening Dubai’s creative and cultural industries. Mariam Dhain Al Tamimi, Acting Director of the Heritage Sites Department at Dubai Culture, emphasised the importance of Hatta Cultural Nights in highlighting the region’s rich history, natural beauty, and heritage landmarks, saying, “Through Hatta Cultural Nights, Dubai Culture seeks to empower the people of Hatta and its creative talents, enabling them to promote their projects while supporting their economic, cultural, and commercial activities.
