AN EVOLUTIONARY JOURNEY The star of the show was the Poetry Trail , an iconic facet of the festival designed to shed light on the evolutionary heights of Arab poetry. Featuring nine stations, the creative platform took visitors on an interactive journey through the different stations in Arabic poetry’s history and the most important developments that occurred throughout eras. The first station began at Okaz Market, an ancient market and social forum in Saudi Arabia dating back over 1,500 years, which was visited by traders coming from Syria, Persia, and Yemen, among other countries. The trail highlighted the market’s role as a cultural centre and one of the most significant hubs for pre-Islamic poetry. In the second station, the focus was on the seven Mu’allaqat - poems prized as the best examples of pre-Islamic Arabian verse - and their poets, among the prominent of them being Imru’ al-Qais, an ancient Arabian king who was a master of love poetry, Amr ibn Kulthum, a chieftain of the glorious Taghlib tribe, and al-Harith ibn Halza, tribe, who was famously proud of his tribe ‘Bakr ibn Wael’ and wrote promoting them. The emirate is keen on fostering and nurturing intellectual awareness in the Arab World and enriching the Arab cultural scene. Most importantly, Abu Dhabi is devoted to preserving the poetic, literary, and cultural heritage of the UAE and Arabic-speaking countries.

Moving to its third station, the Poetry Trail showcased the renowned Su’luk poets, the vagabond poets of pre-Islamic Arabia who roamed the desert in isolation. Forced out of their tribes and living on the fringes of society, they braved the hardships of their arid environment and composed poetry that immortalised their lifestyle. The fourth station put a spotlight on the poems and verses that appeared in the era of the Messenger, peace be upon him, and the era of the Rightly Guided Caliphs until the end of the Umayyad caliphate. The platform then took visitors to its fifth station to showcase the most prominent poets of the Umayyad and Abbasid eras, before moving to the sixth station to illuminate the distinct features of Andalusian poetry, such as the art of stanzas, and its most distinguished poets. Arriving at the seventh station, visitors got a fascinating peek into the history of Nabati poetry - also known as Bedouin poetry, and its most prolific proponents, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President
