Take a break from the music and have a go at the festival’s activations, including a wood painting workshop, calligraphy & body painting, a tie-dye workshop hosted by Loud mood, FloArt, glitter and braiding. You will also be able to relax with various forms of yoga.

Nawar Akawi, co-founder of Kaynouna stated ‘The aim of Kaynouna is to give something back to our festival community. It is more than just a great day and night out in Dubai, it is a moment to connect with yourself,  loved ones and the wider community.’
