"Winds of Culture by Pura" Concert Series – Where Nature Meets Culture

For the first time ever, Pura Eco Retreats proudly presents the inaugural event of the “Winds of Culture by Pura” concert series. This remarkable event, organized in cooperation with SAMIT Event Group, takes classical music outdoors into the heart of nature—an unprecedented setting for such performances.

Traditionally held in refined music chambers, classical music is now brought into the open air, surrounded by the majestic beauty of Jebel Hafit Desert Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site and hidden gem of the UAE. Located in Al Ain, this site has been thoughtfully selected for the event, especially at this significant time, as Al Ain has been named the Gulf Tourism Capital 2025.

Renowned for its majestic landscapes, ancient history, and exceptional desert beauty, this remarkable location provides the perfect setting for an exceptional cultural fusion in the heart of the UAE heritage.

The celebration of the Chinese New Year offers visitors an unforgettable experience, blending the rich traditions of China with the natural beauty of the Emirati desert landscape, creating a one-of-a-kind cultural experience and solidifying Al Ain as a key destination for cultural tourism in the region. The event will be held under the patronage of the Embassy of China in the United Arab Emirates and supported by the China Cultural Centre in the UAE.
