The Sixth Annual Women’s Heritage Walk Launches in Abu Dhabi First Ever Men’s Heritage Walk Announced Organizers of the annual Women’s Heritage Walk officially announced the sixth edition of the event and the first edition of the Men’s Heritage Walk in October 2019 in Abu Dhabi. The Walks are five-day cultural treks from Abu Dhabi to Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates. Both follow a 120 km route that recreates the seasonal journey made by Emirati tribes from the coast to the inland oasis, where families would traditionally join the date harvest and enjoy the cooler climate of Al Ain during the hottest months of the year. The upcoming Women’s Heritage Walk will take place from January 31 – February 4, 2020 and the Men’s Heritage Walk will take place from February 7-11, 2020. In only five years, the Women’s Heritage Walk established itself as a unique multi-faceted event focusing on four pillars of culture and heritage, health and wellness, strength and leadership, and community building. This event is known in both the UAE and around the world. Up to 70 women from diverse backgrounds complete the journey each year with the support of each other and a passionate team of organizers.
