From 15 to 19 October, over a thousand poets will gather in the Emirati capital for this event, which aims to become one of the world's leading celebrations of Arabic poetry.
Several pavilions will be used to explore Arabic poetry, including one dedicated to Sheikh Zayed, the founding father of the United Arab Emirates, and another specifically dedicated to Emirati poetry. A platform, called Poetry Trail, will highlight the stages and evolution of Arabic poetry throughout history.
Cultural seminars and poetry sessions will also be held with writers from various Arab countries. There will be an area dedicated to book signings and a pavilion specially designed for children. The final auditions for the "Million's Poet" TV competition, which promotes Nabati poetry, will also be held during the festival.
