The Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT-Abu Dhabi) has opened nominations for the third cycle of Urban Treasures until 18 December 2023. DCT-Abu Dhabi is inviting the public to submit their nominations for the next edition of its Urban Treasures initiative, which recognises the longstanding business establishments that have shaped Abu Dhabi’s urban and social fabric.
Members of the public are welcome to nominate any establishment operating in the emirate for more than 20 years that they believe has historical and social significance. The awarded establishments will be announced in 2024.
