Residents and visitors to Abu Dhabi this weekend will be able to enjoy a new waterside weekend attraction at one of the city’s most desirable destinations - Reem Island.

Reem Weekend will take place from January 19 to 20 alongside the canal on Reem Island. The event is free, and open to the public from 4pm-11pm.

Inspired by the vibrant colours and carefree waterside holiday atmosphere of Ibiza, Reem Island Weekend will bring together shopping, music, sport, entertainment and food.

Organic food producers and food trucks will provide visitors with a wide variety of international and local cuisines. This will be complemented by street performances, flower and honey markets, fitness sessions as well as adventure and sporting activities such as yoga sessions, climbing walls, and trampolines. For children, a dedicated kids zone, cooking, art and science workshops, will be on offer.

Reem Island Weekend supports Aldar’s destination development strategy, which aims to create vibrant, mixed-use communities and provide a diverse range of housing choices.

Reem Island is adjacent to the central business district on Al Maryah Island, and is also five minutes away from the city centre, offering convenient access to world-class facilities and hotels nearby, including the Rosewood Hotel, Four Seasons, Galleria Mall, Cleveland Clinic, and Saadiyat Island. - TradeArabia News Service
