This is one of the most significant festivals that observes the constant growth of folklore poetry from generation to generation, with an aim to preserve one of few spoken arts in UAE's heritage. The annual festival is a sincere attempt to gather poets and poetry enthusiasts and address the arguments of this specific genre of poetry. The style, in particular, shapes the living memory in the UAE, the Arabian Gulf in particular, and the Arab world in general; the various texts of this form contain subjects on nostalgia, identity, and appreciation of one's roots.
It also plays a prominent role in raising the spirit of positive competition between the folklore poets and the "Nabati" poets, which increases their refinement and growth at the level of form, content, and imagination.
