Dubai Municipality has inaugurated the tenth edition of the acclaimed Hatta Honey Festival, operating under the #HattaWinter initiative framework. This premier agritourism event, running through December 31, 2025 at Hatta Hall, offers complimentary access to visitors while celebrating the region’s apiculture heritage and natural landscapes.
The festival serves as a convergence point for UAE beekeepers, honey producers, and enthusiasts, featuring an expanded layout with over 50 indoor exhibition booths dedicated to honey production and 10 outdoor retail spaces showcasing family enterprises. The event programming includes interactive educational workshops, live cultural performances, and specialized children’s activity zones. Four gourmet food trucks provide culinary offerings throughout the venue.
Beyond its recreational aspects, the festival represents a strategic component of Dubai’s comprehensive Hatta development plan. The event actively supports economic diversification efforts while empowering local entrepreneurs and promoting sustainable agricultural investment. By integrating production, education, and retail experiences, organizers aim to position Hatta as a leading destination for ecological and agricultural tourism while maintaining rigorous quality and safety standards for all products.
The festival’s timing coincides with peak winter tourism season in the UAE, offering residents and international visitors an authentic cultural experience that highlights traditional Emirati honey production methods alongside modern entertainment features.
