This year's festival attracted participants from across the Gulf, including Saudi Arabia, Oman, Jordan, and Egypt. It served as a platform for celebrating agriculture,

beekeeping.

Visitors engaged in workshops on local crafts and enjoyed a dedicated children's area with art and educational activities. Mahmood Khaleel Alhashmi, Director-

General of ADTD, highlighted the festival's success in preserving heritage and supporting farmers, beekeepers, and entrepreneurs. He emphasised ADTD's
commitment to diversifying the festival's agenda to promote Ajman's Emirati identity.

The festival included workshops on palm trunk art, medal weaving, diamond colouring, Suroud decoration, and Al Jafeer decoration. Daily auctions featured dates,
honey, and traditional artefacts with part of the proceeds going to charity. Competitions spanned various categories across Ajman and other regions.
