The Liwa International Festival returns to the Liwa desert in Al Dhafra, Abu Dhabi, with its main site around Tal Moreeb, the UAE's tallest dune. It runs from 11 December 2026 to 2 January 2027, and Nitro Circus is scheduled for 19 and 20 December.
The programme includes motorsport, heritage experiences and family activities, and a new official app is planned. Last year's edition drew more than 700,000 visitors, so winter visitors may wish to plan ahead.
