Returning for its second edition, Abu Dhabi’s Maritime Heritage Festival will once more immerse visitors of all ages in traditional coastal life, recreating a historic shoreline trading community at Abu Dhabi Corniche, A'l Bahar, with a thrilling blend of inspiring crafts, souqs, storytelling, performances, demonstrations and traditional cuisine.

Today, preserving the heritage and connection with the oceans is more important than ever, and at the festival they are woven together like the fishing nets Abu Dhabi’s ancestors crafted by hand.

Join the Maritime Heritage Festival to honour Abu Dhabi’s coastal culture and traditions, while celebrating the origin stories of the emirate.
