If you’re looking for the best things to do in Abu Dhabi this week then look no further. We’ve hand-picked just a few of our favourites, but don’t forget to check our Events Diary for a full listing of all of the best family events in Abu Dhabi throughout the rest of the year.
This weekend you’ll find two great events to keep your health and wellbeing on-track with the Yas Family Festival at Yas Gateway Park and the first Balance Series at Yas Links Golf Club. If fitness isn’t your thing then you’ll still be able to enjoy the outdoor season with the HASTAG Made in Abu Dhabi pop-up market at Eastern Mangroves, which includes over 45 UAE vendors, artisans, and creatives. Next week, parents wanting to help their little ones with their reading skills can attend the parent and educator reading workshop at Dots & Links Center which aims to develop a better understanding of reading struggles in order to help children read more successfully.
We’re always looking for ways to feed the family for less, so this week in our “Save the Date” section, you’ll find details of the Kids Eat Free (yes, free!!) promotion that runs throughout February at Bentley Kitchen in the Galleria Mall on Al Maryah Island.
