Ramadan in the UAE is a time for community, tradition, and celebration. This year, Mirbad is back in Abu Dhabi, offering a nostalgic experience inspired by classic Egyptian cinema. Running until March 10 at Manarat Al Saadiyat, this special Ramadan pop-up is packed with entertainment, shopping, and cultural activities.
Mirbad 2025, themed “The Night and Its Stars,” pays tribute to the golden era of Egyptian film. Visitors can enjoy a dedicated Mirbad Cinema zone featuring vintage movie clips and a unique Oum Kalthoum hologram performance. Live music, including traditional oud performances, adds to the nostalgic atmosphere.

More than just a pop-up, Mirbad is also about giving back. Over the years, it has raised over AED 1M for charity. This year, all proceeds will support the Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation and the SEDRA Foundation, helping humanitarian and empowerment projects across the UAE.
Whether you’re looking for cultural experiences, unique shopping, or just a place to enjoy Ramadan nights, Mirbad is the place to be in Abu Dhabi this season.
