If you’re the kind of person who loves an adrenaline rush, you’re in for a treat. Lammah Al Bahr has zip-lining, beach volleyball, padel tennis, and even an aqua park! Prefer a slower pace? Grab a sunbed at the beach club and enjoy a relaxing day by the sea.
No festival is complete without great food! The food park is packed with mouthwatering options, from sizzling grilled meats to fresh seafood and sweet treats. Whether you’re craving traditional Emirati flavors or global street food, you’ll find it all here.

The festival isn’t just about fun — it’s also a deep dive into Abu Dhabi’s maritime heritage. The heritage zone offers live pearl diving, dhow sailing, and traditional fishing demonstrations, along with hands-on workshops that bring the region’s history to life. Over at The Art Haus gallery, you’ll find stunning art installations and craft exhibitions showcasing local talent.
Want to turn your festival visit into a full weekend escape? You’re in luck! Nearby hotels are offering special rates for festivalgoers. Plus, starting in March, a caravan park will open, followed by glamping options in April — so you can enjoy a unique overnight experience by the beach.
