liwa date festival

 

Think you have a dating problem??  Think again!!  The Liwa Date Festival is one event where you are sure not to be singled out!  Held annually just outside of the city of Abu Dhabi, the Liwa Date Festival pays homage to this deliciously sticky fruit and the date palm from which it hails.  This year’s festival runs from July 17 to the 26, drawing thousands of farmers, brokers, and date fanatics alike to see the best of this year’s crop in the largest date festival in the United Arab Emirates.  As part of the festivities, 140 couples are expected to be married in a group wedding on Friday, July 24, in the Liwa wedding hall.

 

If you can’t make it to Abu Dhabi in time to get hitched at this year’s date festival, be sure to check it out next July!  Etihad Airways offers non-stop service from three North American hubs (New York, Chicago, and Toronto), so getting there will be a breeze.  And, be sure to shack up in the most impressive resort on the block….the soon-to-be-opened Qasr Al Sarab Desert Resort by Anantara, just a 90-minute drive from the city of Abu Dhabi.  Featuring the ultimate in luxurious desert living accommodations, you’ll definitely want to check it out.  No dates required.
