With 60 Farms Participating, Here’s All About The Ongoing Hatta Honey Festival

This is the eighth edition of the ongoing Hatta Honey Festival and it has certainly transformed the quaint town into a haven for honey connoisseurs. And since it is running till December 31, here are some interesting highlights about this ongoing festival that you need to know if you have not visited yet and I’m still in the process of planning to do so.

Highlights Of The Hatta Honey Festival

A mecca for people who wish to stock their pantry with locally produced honey, the Hatta Honey Festival is back for its eighth edition. This year around, 60 local farms are actively participating in the event. With the aim of offering visitors delectable honey that is of high quality, it’s definitely worth checking out. As it happens, this year the spotlight is shining bright on Sidr and Samr honey, which is a special honey in the UAE. Yes, it is derived from the sweet nectar collected by honeybees from the Sidr and Samr plants’ flowers. Yes, in a report by the Khaleej Times, it was also mentioned that visitors are being treated to a wide range of varieties, each of which boasts a unique flavour.

It’s A Haven For Honey Enthusiasts

When a visitor enters a stall at an ongoing event, they are greeted with a spoonful of pure honey that is bound to wake up their taste buds. Many visitors are returning from the festival with kilograms of honey, ensuring that the pantry is well stocked for the year. And with beekeepers from across the country bringing in nearly a hundred kilograms of honey, it’s certainly a sweet heaven for honey enthusiasts. As it happens, this year, Mountain Honey is also gaining quite a bit of traction, which is priced high. The reason for this is its unique production process, which includes the beekeepers collecting honey from the foothills of Jebel Jais.

So, if you still haven’t visited the ongoing Hatta Honey Festival, now is the perfect time to do!
