BAHRAIN’S precious palm trees are being celebrated next month in a three-day festival that will showcase their benefits as well as encourage their preservation and production due to their significant representation of the kingdom’s heritage.
The fourth edition of the annual cultural heritage festival, ‘Khairat Al Nakhla’ (Palm Tree Bounties), which in Arabic means the blessings of the palm tree, is being organised by the National Initiative for Agricultural Development (NIAD) in co-operation with the Farmers Market Department of the Bahrain Development Bank and the Municipalities Affairs and Agriculture Ministry .
