The poets participating in the "Prince of Poets" program in its eleventh season confirmed that the "Sheikh Zayed Festival" in the Al Wathba region in Abu Dhabi constitutes a significant and pioneering platform where cultures and civilizations from all over the world come together under its umbrella. This came during their visit to the Sheikh Zayed Festival site in Al Wathba, where they learned about its activities, which showcase Emirati traditions and customs through various pavilions and sections, as well as entertainment and cultural activities. The poets toured the traditional village within the festival and learned about its activities, which highlight the UAE's cultural heritage and its authenticity. The tour included many live workshops, including traditional crafts such as pottery, basket weaving, and leather goods, as well as traditional Emirati cuisine, and watching folk art performances like "Al Ayala" and learning about the heritage of falconry in the UAE and taking photos with the falcons. The poets said that the festival represents a significant cultural and social heritage that brings together cultures and civilizations from around the world, reflecting the spirit of tolerance, love, and humanity, and expressing their admiration for the traditional village in the festival, especially their familiarity with folk art performances up close, which they said they enjoyed watching. The poets showed interest in the traditional activities in the festival, such as grinding grains on stone mills, handmade crafts, and described their visit to the festival as refreshing and helping them to relax and prepare for their performances in the "Prince of Poets" sessions. They also expressed their appreciation for the festival's role in bringing together cultures and civilizations under one umbrella, linking modernity with heritage, and contributing to enriching and promoting Arab identity.
