The pop-up will be held at Manarat Al Saadiyat.
Ramadan in the UAE is more than just a month of fasting and reflection. It’s a time when the community comes alive. And this year, Mirbad is making its much-awaited return to Abu Dhabi. For its 18th edition, Mirbad is bringing a touch of Egyptian nostalgia to the capital. Taking place from 6 to 10 March at Manarat Al Saadiyat, this curated Ramadan pop-up is focused on celebrating community spirit.
Mibrab offers a mix of fashion, creativity, and entertainment. This year’s theme, Mirbad: The Night and its Stars, pays homage to classic Egyptian cinema, blending traditional aesthetics with a modern twist.
At Mirbad, you can participate in a variety of workshops such as candle-making, crochet, bracelet-making, henna art and even an oud perfume masterclass to craft your own signature Ramadan scent.
Now, Egyptian cinema is one of the most celebrated within the Middle East, which is why there’s a Mirbad Cinema zone at the pop-up as well. Here, vintage movie clips and an Oum Kalthoom hologram performance bring the golden age of Egyptian film to life. With live music and a traditional oud performance, you’re in for a treat.
For shoppers, Mirbad will feature over 120 brands featuring homegrown names like R’A signature, Euphoria, L’Posh Abayas, Oud Al Khoori, Mazrouie, Maveroc, Glem, Thahab Lawal, Yass and Yass, Flabelus, Shresht, and L’Atelier Nawbar.
And of course, like all pop-ups, Mirbad has a selection of food and beverage concepts that will serve traditional Ramadan treats.
But beyond the glitz and glamour, Mirbad remains committed to giving back to the community. Over the years, it has raised over AED 1 million for charitable causes, and this year, all proceeds collected will go towards the Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation and the SEDRA Foundation, supporting humanitarian and empowerment initiatives across the UAE.
So, if you’re looking to soak in the Ramadan vibes, this creative pop-up is open from 9pm to 2am, mixing culture, creativity, and community.
