the joy of brighter choices
Introducing the Festival of Health, an opportunity to rethink health. To help us make easy changes, for healthier, happier lives. Happening across Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Al Dhafra.
Unforgettable immersive experiences, thought-provoking talks and hands-on activities that will leave you feeling supercharged.
From interactive wellness workshops to family fitness sessions, to steamy cooking demos, there really is something for everyone.
Make feeling good the norm
The Festival of Health is based around four central pillars crucial to living a healthy, happy life.
Led by government partners, it unites public health initiatives, community campaigns and year-round activities across four pillars: nutrition, movement, sleep and mental wellbeing.
Movement
Moving more is sure to level-up your general health, help you manage your weight and leave you with a sense of well-deserved accomplishment. You'll also find yourself sleeping better and feeling happier as exercise kills stress and releases natural feel-good chemicals in your body. What's not to love?
Step in, jump, cycle, or dance your way into energy. Discover the joy of moving freely, with experiences that turn everyday activity into excitement, motivation, and pure fun.

A 10-minute walk can boost your energy as much as a coffee
Mental
Wellbeing
Elevating your health goes beyond the body. Your mind needs the same care and attention too. With just a few simple habits, you can start to feel noticeably calmer, happier and clearer in your thinking – even reducing the risk of serious health issues, such as heart attacks and strokes.
Pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. Paint, meditate, play, or simply breathe as each activity invites balance, creativity, and a calmer state of mind.

Sleep
Getting quality sleep can do wonders for your mood, performance and long-term health. Doze off earlier knowing you're reducing your risk of heart disease and diabetes, and wake up knowing you've improved your memory, concentration and mental wellbeing. Restful sleep can even help you manage your weight as it's linked to your metabolism, appetite and energy balance.
Slow down, breathe, and unwind through relaxing sensory experiences. Discover how better rest can refresh your body, calm your mind, and power a healthier lifestyle.

Nutrition
We all know that unhealthy food usually contains harmful fats and sugars. That's why they increase the risk of heart disease, obesity and diabetes. However, we can avoid, or reverse, these risks by eating more fresh fruit and vegetables, lean protein and fibre-rich food, which will leave us feeling full and satisfied for longer. That means, fewer cravings for greasy takeaways, fewer after-meal crashes and fewer urges for sugary snacks.
Taste, create, and explore nourishing Flavors at the Healthy Garden. Discover how simple, mindful choices can make healthy eating effortless, enjoyable, and a natural part of every family's lifestyle.
