What’s on
What’s on when you’re there?
Concerts, family shows and the daily programme run across the season. Check what’s happening on your date, then plan the rest of your Liwa night from there.
Concerts
Live music takes over Grand Arena, the dedicated venue beside Liwa Village.
Craft, food and shopping
Meet the makers. Stay for the food.
Watch Emirati craft take shape through weaving, pottery and other practices carried by the artisans working across Souk.
In Souk, the makers work close to the people watching them. The programme includes Sadu weaving, Talli embroidery, basket weaving, pottery, henna making and scent making, so the craft comes through the hands, materials and methods used across the zone.
