URBAN TREASURES

An initiative by the Department of Culture & Tourism Abu Dhabi to raise the profile of Abu Dhabi's longest-running local eateries and shops, by designating them as 'places of cultural significance'.

RECOGNISING ABU DHABI'S LONGEST RUNNING ESTABLISHMENTS

By awarding this special status, it is hoped the initiative will encourage more people to frequent these cafés, restaurants and shops. The designation will highlight each establishment’s place as a significant and popular part of the urban and social fabric of its neighbourhood.
