Al Seef, the bustling waterfront destination by Meraas, is unveiling a packed calendar of family-friendly fun this season as the weather cools down.
Take a stroll from the Heritage Area to the Modern Area through busy artisan markets from different corners of the world, a vibrant funfair with thrilling rides and games, and streets filled with the sound of live music while admiring breath-taking views of Dubai Creek.
Discover timeless works of handmade art at the brand-new Al Seef Artisans’ World Market as you move through thronging streets to find authentic accessories, antiques, souvenirs, ceramics and more. Open throughout the week, the pop-up bazaars feature diverse themes – from Emirati, Khaleeji and Middle Eastern to Asian and International.
And if you spend AED200 at Al Seef, your kids can experience a world of fun at the colourful carnival taking place throughout the week that features a carousel, traditional and modern games, an exclusive play area and a variety of creative workshops, where your little ones can release all that pent-up energy.
Every Thursday and Friday, you can enjoy performances by street musicians as well as local artists and bands. The traditional Khaleeji band Jalsat Khaleejiya will take the stage every Friday to woo you with the deep, soulful sounds of the oud and the catchy beats of the bendir.
Embark on an exciting Arabian Nights Treasure Hunt for the whole family, and explore streets and alleyways to chase clues based on the most popular stories from One Thousand and One Nights, including Aladdin, Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves and Sinbad the Sailor. Track down missing lamps, solve riddles and guess magic words to earn your fortune of Al Seef gold coins, redeemable for sweet treats, such as luqaimat, ice cream and many more over the weekend.
Stop by the Al Seef Organic Market every Thursday for your weekly dose of fresh local products. Treat yourself to organic fruit and vegetables, and homemade soaps, jams and honey, and show your support for the local community.
Movie fans are not forgotten. Catch your favourite flicks beneath the stars at Al Seef’s Outdoor Movie Nights that will screen beloved family classics every Thursday to Saturday.
And if all the fun has left your stomach growling, you don’t have to go far – just take your pick from Al Seef’s eclectic selection of waterfront dining experiences.
True to its promise of being an inclusive destination that offers something to engage all of its multicultural visitors, Al Seef will revamp its theme, decorations, and offerings to match the Indian festival of Diwali, UAE National Day, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve.
To cap off this extravaganza, every spend of AED200 between 10 October and 31 December 2019 earns you an entry into a raffle draw for a 2019 Chevrolet Blazer.
Now isn’t that a truly magical globe-trotting adventure?
