A Mesmerising New Horsemanship Experience Has Arrived In The UAE
Every now and then, the UAE unveils something that reminds you why this place is a global cultural powerhouse. One minute you’re brunching, the next you’re standing in front of a space that blends history, craftsmanship and full-on artistic spectacle… and somehow it all just works.
Well, get ready, because Abu Dhabi has quietly launched a landmark that’s about to become your next “you HAVE to see this” recommendation.
Say hello to ADREA! A new home for classical horsemanship and culture
On Jubail Island, a brand-new cultural institution has officially opened its doors: Abu Dhabi Royal Equestrian Arts (ADREA). And this isn’t just another venue… It’s the first institution of its kind outside Europe, and only the fifth classical horsemanship school in the world. Yes, WORLD.
ADREA takes the region’s deep equestrian heritage and turns it into art. Literally.

The star of the show is Furusiyya
Their signature weekly performance, Furusiyya: Return to Origins, is a journey that follows the Arabian horse across continents and centuries.
Expect scenes that move from the quiet desert to the grand halls of Europe… before circling back home to Arabia. It’s rhythm, choreography, precision, and emotion, all in one arena that transforms into a work of art through light and movement.
If you’re into culture, performance, horses, history, or just want a unique weekend plan, this is one for the books!
ADREA is designed as a full-on discovery hub:
- The Furusiyya Gallery: Artefacts, manuscripts, and centuries of Arab horsemanship in one beautifully curated space.
- The Library: One of the world’s largest equestrian collections with over 15,000+ volumes. Yes, fifteen thousand.
- The Atelier: Where artisans keep the tradition of saddle-making alive. Watching craftsmanship in action is honestly mesmerising.
- Ethr at the Library: A calm, reflective spot open daily for people who want to unwind in a cultural setting.
- Knead Bakery: Open every Saturday for performance nights (and you already KNOW it will smell amazing). More dining concepts are on the way too!
Whether you’re a history buff, a horse lover, or just someone who loves discovering new places, this is one spot you’ll want to add to your weekend roster ASAP.
