🎥 LIWA FESTIVAL 2025 – A Journey into Emirati Culture

This short documentary offers an intimate, cinematic glimpse into the heart of Liwa Festival 2025, one of the most iconic winter gatherings in the United Arab Emirates. Held in the vast desert of Abu Dhabi, the festival celebrates Bedouin heritage, hospitality, resilience, and the deep cultural pride of the Emirati people.

Through interviews, behind-the-scenes moments, and everyday interactions, we explore how Liwa not only honours its ancestral traditions — from camel racing and local cuisine to crafts and folklore — but also how it has become a global meeting point: a space where cultures from around the world come to connect, learn, and respectfully engage with the soul of the Emirates.

This project, produced by Siembra Media Labs, is a tribute to a country that, while rooted in tradition, extends an open hand to the world. Because more than just a festival, Liwa Festival is a living legacy one that grows year after year.

🌍 A story about identity, belonging, and the power of sharing who we are.
