What Is It?

The Department of Culture & Tourism – Abu Dhabi, is organising its first ever Abu Dhabi Week in Delhi that brings the food, clothing, musical performances and the best of Abu Dhabi under one roof at the JLN Stadium. 

The exhibition is an effort by the Abu Dhabi government to promote their culture and boost tourism into the city.

Who Is It For?

Never been to Abu Dhabi but have always been fascinated by its beautiful skyline and the opulence of the luxe YAS Islands {yas, the man-made island we’ve all heard of} or have been to this city and miss their meaty shawarmas, the glitzy buildings, the thrill of Ferrari World’s roller coaster and would love to have it all back {for a while at least}? The Abu Dhabi Week is for you.

If you want to experience everything Emirati in Delhi over a weekend & under one roof, Abu Dhabi’s multi-city exhibition at JLN is your best bet.

Why Should I Go For It?

Because it’s an opportunity for you to witness a bit of Abu Dhabi in Delhi and the UAE government is going all out by letting us experience some of city’s major attractions like YAS Marina Racing Circuit, YAS Golf Links and Ferrari World in our city.

A racing simulator has been set up at the venue where you can feel what it’s like to whiz past tracks at unmatched speeds, you can try your hand at golf just like you would at the YAS Links and experience what it’s like to be on one of world’s fastest roller coaster rides through a virtual reality setup of the famous Ferrari World. An exclusive glimpse of Louvre Abu Dhabi, the art museum that’s scheduled to open on Nov 11 in the UAE capital will also be shown at this exhibition.

And when you wish to grab a bite, you’ll find everything from different varieties of dates, Machboos and Luqaimat to Arabic coffee, Harees and there’ll be live demonstrations by the famous Emirati chef – Chef Khulood too.

You can also Instagram away to a lit feed at the dedicated selfie booths with the Abu Dhabi skyline, a cruise ship; and the #ILoveAbuDhabi sign that greets you at the Abu Dhabi airport has also been re-created in the same style at the venue.

Anything Else?

Abu Dhabi’s famous Ajmal Perfumes and other stores would also be selling their products at the exhibition, so souvenirs sorted, right?
