Following the mandate of the Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority and in line with the Abu Dhabi Culture & Heritage Authority and The Environment Agency of Abu Dhabi, Shawati' magazine captures the individuals, places, and thoughts that are defining the modern culture of Abu Dhabi and the UAE. The mandate for this publication was clear well before we imposed the first brush stroke. From the arts and heritage, environment and tourism, to government and business, Shawati's mission focuses on reflecting the Emirati nation, its capital and the world at large with distinctive coverage and a unique perspective on current events and evolving issues. Shawati' is a bilingual magazine in both English and Arabic. It holds deeply personal reflections on culture, art and life, legendary exchanges which can only be found in our pages.
