Ana Mutayama
- AED 40.00 / Once
It is said that the four seasons pass through our lives, our destinies, and our feelings, just as they pass through nature. It is also said that love has four seasons, which we live without realizing how they follow our feelings. Between love and jealousy, and between separation and forgetfulness, flowers grow in the heart, and trees undress in the conscience, seasons of colors, warmth and joy, followed by cold and dark rainy seasons. I recorded them on these pages, as the scattered feelings were present in our hearts, and I chose to include them in chapters.

Palm Tree (Eng)
- AED 28.57 / Once
This booklet is an extensive study of the role of the date palm in the society, culture and heritage of the United Arab Emirates. From traditional oases to modern times, this tree has been a source of survival, food, shelter and livelihood. Palm Tree examines the various uses and products of this versatile evergreen. It describes the role of the farmer in planting the palm, transplanting offshoots, pollination, pruning, irrigation and harvesting the dates. The pressing process to create molasses and the tradition of gifting dates are also explained. The wood and leaves of the palm tree helped to build homes, household goods and utensils. The booklet explains how this was done, such as through 'trunking' and Khoos (wicker weaving). This documentation has gained greater importance with the 2019 inscription of the date palm on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Palm Tree is a Department of Culture and Tourism - Abu Dhabi research project.

The craft has unique, colourful designs and symbols inspired by the natural environment and tribal logos. Al-Sadu was a resourceful way of utilising scarce desert resources for shelter and comfort and is an important symbol of Emirati creativity and resilience. Al-Sadu was inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in Need of Urgent Safeguarding in 2011. This critical research book by Mahasin Abdel Rahim Wageealla documents and preserves this handicraft for future generations.

Shawati Magazine
- AED 60.00 / Quarter Yearly
Shawati' Magazine, the official, independent-voiced culture and arts bi-lingual quarterly publication is published under the patronage of the government of Abu Dhabi and the Cultural Programs and Heritage Festivals Committee – Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi. More than 15 years since Shawati’s inception in 2007, we are more committed than ever to maintain our presence as a prominent voice in the Capital of Abu Dhabi. We adopted a phrase back in 2012 that best defines our vision and mission: globalising the local, localising the global. These words resonate at the core of our essence; to preserve our ‘local heritage’ while embracing the ideals of global mindedness; thus creating an authentic Emirate set amid a modern world. The word ‘Shawati’ translates to ‘shores’, which also loosely echoes around the idea of extending beyond a limit or border. Essentially, we strive to balance and embody two languages - Arabic & English - a multitude of cultures, as well as a distinctive array of stories and voices - nestled within our pages. We strive to make each issue special and unique, to offer a fresh perspective on what’s occurring at home and abroad. It’s our desire to always outdo ourselves, for each issue to surpass the last. With that in mind, we treat each issue as though it were the last. This thought forces us to constantly challenge our selves, to push creative and editorial boundaries. Over the last 15 years, Shawati’ has given a podium to a generation of innovative leaders, thinkers and visionaries. These people, and their farsighted initiatives have helped shape the world we live in today. Locally and globally, our aim has always been to share the best of Abu Dhabi, and the UAE, with the rest of the world.
