TAHBIB FESTIVAL 2025
📍 India Club, Oud Metha Road, Dubai
📅 28 & 29 November 2025
🎟 Free Entry • Registration Mandatory
TWO DAYS. ONE PLATFORM. INFINITE VOICES.
In a world loud with noise, Tahbib Festival 2025 dares to listen—to poems scribbled on napkins, to voices erased from history, to thoughts too fragile for headlines yet strong enough to outlive regimes.
From the corridors of ghazals to the alleys of avant-garde cinema, from the rhythm of forgotten languages to the rawness of new voices—this is not an event. This is a reckoning.
Poetry still stings. Language still liberates. Sometimes, a whisper on stage echoes louder than the loudest scream.
