Dubai Dates

The Dubai Dates festival is returning from 25 July to 1 August. Taking place at Qalaat Al Remaal on Dubai-Al Ain Road and organised by the Hamdan Bin Mohammed Heritage Center, the meaningful festival celebrates the palm tree not only as a vital agricultural product, but as a powerful national and cultural symbol.

Visitors can explore a wide range of date varieties, learn about traditional harvesting and cultivation practices and enjoy family-friendly activities rooted in Emirati heritage. With its focus on community, sustainability and pride in the UAE’s agricultural legacy, the festival will bring together farmers, artisans and culture lovers for a week of authentic experiences. Join this rewarding celebration of tradition and taste.
