Why the Ghaf Tree?

The Ghaf tree holds a special place in the UAE’s identity. Not only is it a symbol of national pride and tolerance, but it also plays a vital role in the ecosystem. Known for its resilience in arid environments, the Ghaf tree helps combat desertification, reduces carbon footprints, and supports sustainable urban development.
