Weekends at the Oasis, part of the 2017 Al Ain cultural programme curated by Abu Dhabi Tourism & Culture Authority (TCA Abu Dhabi), returns this weekend for the final installment of its heritage and family-focused event at Al Ain Oasis.

Running on April 7th and 8th, the Oasis will host children’s workshops offering a range of arts and crafts projects for children of all ages to enjoy, as well as communal market stalls in the West Plaza and West Gate car park from 4pm to 10pm. Visitors will also be able to find traditional, handmade and modern Emirati products and produce, with all products made and/or inspired by the Oasis and the materials found within.

The weekend’s event will also offer a curated programme of activities to evoke a sense of shared nostalgia, where the public can enjoy screenings of shows from popular culture of the 70s and 80s, traditional Ayyala performances, food trucks and story-telling inspired by life within the Oasis.

The full Al Ain programme provides a variety of ways for visitors to interact with the Emirate’s cherished history, and has been curated to support the UNESCO theme ‘Protecting our Heritage and Fostering Creativity’. It will return to several iconic locations across the Emirate’s Garden City later in the year.
