When tradition meets modernity - an ode to the Emirati heritage and culture, Ayyala performances will be back at Louvre Abu Dhabi. Embrace the spirit and ethos of the Bedouin values deeply embedded in the UAE culture, where 20 to 30 musicians will be performing in unison with the stunning architecture of the museum as a backdrop.

Generally known as the ‘stick dance’, this traditional fascinating UAE folk dance is accompanied by drumming and performed by two rows of dancers facing one another. Dancers are positioned close together in rows, signifying the unity and co-operation amongst tribes.
