A love of storytelling runs deeply through the history of the Middle East, dating back to the days when Bedouin tribes gathered around the ghaf tree to share inspiring tales.

Now in its 15th edition, this year's event is set to take place at the newly-opened Mohammed Bin Rashid Library and will feature an incredible line-up of workshops, talks by world-renowned public figures and special events.
