The UAE's favourite festival is back at Al Dhafra and Al Ain for 5-days of family fun.
The annual MOTN family festival is returning from 28 November - 2 December, with another jam-packed line-up of 'Out of This World' experiences, celebrating the collision of joy, wonder, and extraordinary moments. Located at Al Ain Square and a stunning new waterfront location, Al Mugheirah Bay in Al Dhafra, families can immerse in five unforgettable days that'll span over the UAE National Day long weekend.
Organised by the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi (DCT Abu Dhabi), and in partnership with creative events producer Brag, the festival is bringing another exciting edition, showcasing the UAE capital's diverse landscapes and destinations.
This year the MOTN festival will immerse visitors of all ages in a vibrant, larger-than-life universe where every corner will be filled with exhilarating carnival rides, family-friendly activities, iconic space-inspired scenes providing the perfect backdrop for your photographs, and irresistible F&B options that will keep everyone coming back for more.
Waterfront Fun in Al Dhafra
MOTN will take over Al Mugheirah Bay, a one-stop integrated waterfront destination developed by Modon, transforming it into an 'Out of This World' themed wonderland.
Whatever your age and whether you're a thrill-seeker, foodie, or music fan, there's something for you at this festival - including carnival rides to challenging skills games, live entertainment, and more!
Little ones can head to the festival’s vibrant Arts & Crafts corner, where they can participate in hands-on workshops, exciting shows, and engaging edutainment activities.
Older kids and teens can smash their stress into stardust at The Smash Room where you can smash, break, stomp, and dance your way to relaxation!
For another way to unwind, visitors can head to the Community Stage and enjoy live performances and music or fend off hunger by taking a food tour packed with global treats, from comforting ramen to refreshing natural desserts.
Venture Beyond the Ordinary in Al Ain
In Al Ain, enjoy exciting new rides, experiences and delicious delicacies from across the UAE and beyond.
Children can embark on a fun and playful adventure starting with their favourite carnival rides, bounce until to their heart’s desire at Planet Inflatables, or get messy with Arts & Crafts.
Teens and young adults get ready for adrenaline-fueled fun the Arcade, featuring futuristic games set across the galaxies - such as retro classics, latest arcade hits, and foosball. Test your skills, challenge your friends, and level up at each game station!
As a family, unwind with non-stop music and performances from local artists at the Community Stage or stroll through the bold, otherworldly art installations and capture plenty of picture-perfect moments and photo opportunities all around the festival.
Foodies can tuck into bold creations from homegrown, lip-smackers like Drip Burger's Wagyu burgers with a twist, and Wok Boyz, serving out authentic flavours from East Asian streets.
Or treat your taste buds to London’s favourite, Soft Serve Society, bringing its playful twist to ice creams. This international dessert bar will serve its indulgent Soft Serve Sundae Cups, Freakshakes, and Bubble Tea, turning the classics into mouthwatering, imaginative treats!

In celebration of the UAE's National Day, the MOTN festival will feature a spectacular fireworks display and live concerts by talented UAE artists (soon-to-be-announced), to create a vibrant atmosphere that will unite everyone in tribute to the nation’s rich culture and heritage.
