MUSICAL WORKSHOPS

Abu Dhabi’s Bait Al Oud, a music institute that teaches people how to play traditional Arabic instruments and music, is giving tours for the public to explore the musical heritage of the UAE. You’ll get to experience traditional instruments like the oud and rababa (a stringed instrument), learn all about their history, and see the techniques of oud-making for yourself at a workshop, plus you can attend one of the classes where Bait Al Oud’s professors will play melodies. Tours are from 11–12am on Sundays and Tuesdays, and from 4-5pm on Mondays and Wednesdays.
