The festival kicks off on the first day of Eid.
Eid in the UAE is a special time. From dazzling fireworks to bustling markets, it’s a time of celebration. And this year, Eid al-Fitr festivities are about to get even more exciting in Al Ain, as the garden city unveils its inaugural Ghaitah Al Ain 2025.
Taking place at the outdoor area of ADNEC Centre Al Ain, Ghaitah Al Ain 2025 will run for five days, beginning on the first day of Eid al-Fitr. Since the official date of Eid is determined by the moon sighting and is yet to be announced, the festival will commence on the first confirmed day of Eid, offering an immersive cultural experience.
Ghaitah Al Ain’s slogan, A Festival for Our Own, highlights the event’s emphasis on family and community. It’s all about celebrating Emirati heritage while offering a mix of modern attractions and interactive experiences. From live performances to thrilling activities, this festival is set to be the highlight of Eid al-Fitr in Al Ain.
Ghaitah Al Ain 2025 is designed with multiple themed zones. The Heritage District celebrates Emirati culture with unique shopping experiences featuring traditional crafts and local cuisine. Echoes of Al Ain presents a sensory art experience with immersive sound, light and interactive installations. For thrill-seekers, the Activation Zone features an arcade, a smash room, a shooting range, and a jeep track, while Adventure Games offer high-speed zip-lining, a climbing wall, and physical challenges.
Art lovers can explore the Arts Oasis, showcasing curated exhibitions, live performances, and interactive displays. Kids can enjoy endless fun at the Inflatable Park, while animal lovers can visit the Petting Zoo to interact with friendly farm animals and experience horseback riding. The Workshop Area provides hands-on creative activities like pottery making, slime creation and more.
A variety of Middle Eastern and international flavours will also be on offer at the Food Hub.
