Mohammed Bin Rashid Library hosts a Sports Festival in its outdoor garden from 9 to 21 November

Mohammed Bin Rashid Library in Al Jaddaf will host a Sports Festival in its outdoor garden from Monday 9 November to Saturday 21 November 2026, as part of Dubai Fitness Challenge. The festival will run daily from 4pm to 9pm, except on Sundays.

The library says the festival will turn its outdoor spaces into a destination for fitness activities, wellness experiences, talks and community events, with a different programme each day. Visitors will be able to meet health experts, fitness trainers and life coaches, and the programme includes sessions for children.

What is on

The programme includes yoga and Pilates sessions. Many sessions on the main stage in the garden are free, including children’s games, children’s yoga, mat Pilates and yin yoga, while some sessions are paid and booked through Platinumlist, the YoFit app or Breasy. Talks take place in the library’s amphitheatre, among them a 30×30 happiness challenge session with Dr Louise Lambert on Wednesday 11 November.

Dubai Fitness Challenge has events across the city this month. Time Out Market Dubai is running Saturday Pilates and yoga on its terrace and healthy dishes from 16 kitchens, and Organic Foods and Café is serving AED 69 breakfast sets every day during the challenge.
