About Ataya

Ataya (means ‘giving’ in Arabic) is an exhibition for charity organized by Emirates Red Crescent under the Patronage of HH Sheikha Shamsa Bint Hamdan Bin Mohammed Al Nahyan.


The annual Ataya Exhibition - since inception a short 5 years back – has quickly become a landmark in Abu Dhabi’s cultural calendar, where a wide range of fresh and distinct fashion wear, jewellery, home accessories and furniture is exhibited and sold. The exhibits are by talented designers and artists from the UAE and the region, with each being picked individually by the Higher Committee of the Exhibition.
