One good thing to do during the cooler months is to fly a kite. If you can’t fly one, then watching these colorful floaters in the sky is the next best thing to do.
And there are two kite festivals happening in the next 2 Fridays.
On January 18, the International Kite Fest is happening at Al Mamzar Park, Beach Area 1.
Prizes are up for grabs to those who’d fly their own creative kites. There will also be kite-making workshops for kids, free face painting, henna, live DJ music, and more family-oriented activities.
There will be variety of food stalls as well, or you can go to the park and bring your own picnic basket.
Tickets cost AED25, inclusive of park entry. Kids below 5 years old enter free | 10am to 7pm
