Liwa Date Festival to commemorate Sheikh Zayed the Great
The Liwa Date Festival is to commemorate the centenary of Sheikh Zayed the Great, according to the organizing committee. "The aim of this commemoration is to make sure that people are aware of the achievements of the late Sheikh Zayed the Great, a man with a historic legacy," said Obaid Khalfan Al Mazrouei, Director of the Festival.
Sheikh Zayed the Great faced many local and regional challenges which he managed to overcome. He was able to sustain his Emirate sovereignty despite the dominant presence of the British forces in the Arab Gulf which lasted over three centuries. He was instrumental in affirming the role of Abu Dhabi in the region, safeguarding it from any foreign aggression.
The Liwa Date Festival is held under the patronage of HH Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs. The Festival is organized by the Abu Dhabi Authority for Culture and Heritage and held in its fifth edition in Liwa, the Western Region, Abu Dhabi, between 17th and 26th of July 2009.
