We sat down with the inspiring Youth Ambassadors from this year’s Youth Programme to hear all about their festival experience. These young minds share how the festival sparked their creativity, curiosity, and love for storytelling. #EmiratesLitFest

أمسية استثنائية غمرتنا بسحر شعر نزار قباني وإحساس كلماته التي لا تزال حية في الذاكرة. بين المشاهد الدرامية الحية والأداءات الموسيقية المؤثرة، حيث تُجسد قصائده الشعيرة لحظات الحب والفقد والحرية على خشبة المسرح. #مهرجان_الإمارات_للآداب2025

في جلسة حوارية بنمط الطاولة المستديرة، ناقشنا دور الأديب والمثقف اليوم مع محمد اليحيائي، مريم الهاشمي، نبيل سليمان، وعبد الإله بنعرفة. تناولنا تحولات الدور الثقافي في عصر العولمة، وهل يبقى الأدب أداة تغيير أم مرآة للواقع؟ #مهرجان_الإمارات_للآداب2025

مع الفائز الغائب، استكملنا الحكاية في جلسة مؤثرة جمعت بين الأمل والمثابرة. مع يوسف خندقجي ورنا إدريس، اكتشفنا رحلة باسم خندقجي في كتابة روايته الفائزة بجائزة الرواية العربية، بكل مشاعرها وصعوباتها. جلسة ملهمة عن الإصرار والأمل. #مهرجان_الإمارات_للآداب2025

ثلاثة من أبرز الكتّاب اجتمعوا ليأخذوا الحضور في رحلة بين الخيال والواقع. رشا سمير أبدعت في "المسحورة"، أحمد الصادق قدّم رؤيته في "دوار العالم"، وحصة عبد الله استكشفت الأساطير الإماراتية. جلسة ملهمة من السرد العميق. #مهرجان_الإمارات_للآداب2025

Three conversations, three powerful perspectives, each one leaving us inspired and questioning the world around us. #EmiratesLitFest

A dinner with stars, a locked film set, and a dead body—what could go wrong? With dramatic actors, a power-hungry director, and rising bodies, everyone had a motive. But who did it? #EmiratesLitFest

حين تعجز الكلمات عن التعبير، يكون للشعر صوته الخاص في الحب والمشاعر. وسط أنغام القانون العربي الأصيل يجتمع كل من أسماء عزايزة وأمل السهلاوي وعبد اللطيف يوسف ود. عفراء عتيق ولمياء الصيقل في مناظرة شعرية محورها الحب وحُكامها قصائد العشق والهوى. #مهرجان_الإمارات_للآداب2025
