Bait Al Gahwa, A Symbol of Unity

Start the morning with a traditional Arabic coffee. Bait Al Gahwa is a cultural experience involving the traditional preparation and presentation of Gahwa (Arabic coffee). The concept is based on extensive research undertaken by the Department of Culture and Tourism - Abu Dhabi in order to document and safeguard an essential element of Emirati culture.

The practice of serving Gahwa communally has been a part of the Emirati tradition of hospitality and generosity for centuries, passed down from generation to generation. Not only is it a part of celebrations, it is a symbol of unity that preserves social, political and cultural associations that have helped shape Emirati society into what it is today.
