UAE Green Festival
The UAE Green Festival is the first international event of its kind in the UAE that aims at highlighting the importance of preserving the environment and developing sustainable green practices in an entertaining manner.

The festival comprises a plethora of entertaining events and environmental activities, offering visitors and resident’s special offers and packages. Participants from all over the world will have the chance to stay at environmentally friendly hotels along with green tours to different parks and natural reserves.
UAE Green Festival contributes to promoting awareness and highlights the great efforts made by the United Arab Emirates regarding sustainable development. The leader is deliberately building upon the sustainable foundations originally laid by the late Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan, by diversifying sources of income, conserving natural resources, and building a knowledge-based economy.
The strategic vision of the Federal Electricity and Water Authority emanates from the UAE Government’s strategies, which in essence entail preserving energy and water resources as the government is keen to reduce the environmental hazards resulting from its operations in order to preserve the environment and infrastructure of the community. The Federal Electricity and Water Authority are pleased to partake in the UAE Green Festival 2014 following the UAE government’s vision in maintaining a clean environment, and promoting environmental awareness.
The UAE Green Festival is a name that deserves attention, and RTA, as one of the major government parties concerned in implementing the concept of a sustainable green environment in Dubai, finds this event a considerable national platform.
