This Ramadan, Yas Bay Waterfront invites you to embrace the spirit of the season with a thoughtfully curated programme, starting 19th February, of experiences for the whole community. From peaceful waterfront strolls and live weekend performances to pre-iftar wellness sessions and family-friendly fun, the waterfront transforms into a vibrant yet serene destination where tradition and togetherness come alive. Whether you’re gathering with loved ones, enjoying a quiet moment before iftar, or bringing the little ones out for an evening of play, Ramadan at Yas Bay Waterfront offers something meaningful for everyone.
Take a leisurely stroll along the waterfront and discover Flavours of Ramadan, a complimentary experience celebrating the region’s rich traditions. Friendly hosts will be stationed at select spots along the promenade, offering guests a taste of signature Ramadan beverages such as Jallab from the Levant region, Moroccan tea, Gahwa from the Arabian Peninsula and Egyptian Karkade (hibiscus tea). From refreshing classics to time-honoured favourites, this experience invites visitors to pause, connect and savour the simple joys of the season in a warm, welcoming setting by the bay.
Unwind by the water as the gentle Sounds of Ramadan fill the evening air. Each weekend, emerging homegrown musicians and instrumentalists will take to the Pier Promenade with a curated selection of themed melodies and soft rhythms inspired by the spirit of the holy month. Designed to complement the peaceful ambience of the waterfront, the melodies creates a warm and immersive atmosphere for families and friends to gather, reflect and enjoy the night. Whether you’re dining nearby or simply enjoying a walk along the promenade, the live performances offer the perfect backdrop to your evening.
Find balance before iftar with Ramadan Reset, a series of daily complimentary wellness sessions hosted by Warehouse Gym at the Etihad Arena Plaza. Designed to help the community pause, recharge and reconnect, these pre-iftar sessions provide a mindful moment to stretch, move and focus on wellbeing in a supportive group environment. Led by trusted fitness professionals, each session encourages participants to ease into gentle movement while embracing the reflective nature of the season. It’s an opportunity to prioritise health, build positive habits and foster a sense of togetherness throughout the month. Note: Participants are encouraged to bring their own mats and towels to take part comfortably.
