Over 2,000 people have participated in the Neon Book Hunt at Umm Al Emarat Park since October 20, with 1,500 books already taken home. Using maps, LED neon lights, clues and their detection skills, little ones and adults ‘hunted’ for books.
The Neon Book Hunt is the latest initiative by Umm Al Emarat Park intended to encourage people of all ages to read more, in line with the Park’s ethos of ‘education through recreation’. Books were generously donated by the Department of Culture and Tourism - Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi), the Louvre Abu Dhabi, Kalima Translation Project, Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University Dubai (HBMSU), the Abu Dhabi Music and Arts Foundation (ADMAF) and Al Hudhud Publishing and Distribution. Additionally, more prizes were hidden inside the books, compliments of Home Bakery, Burger Bureau, Green for Life, Mira’s Creamery and Sugar Art.
Prizes included vouchers from restaurants at the park and free entry tickets to the Louvre Abu Dhabi.
Taking place daily starting from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and running until November 20, the Neon Book Hunt is the ideal event for book lovers of all ages and the perfect opportunity your family needs to strengthen bonds and read more.
Grab a map and a neon flashlight and let the hunt begin – the mission is on!
