The Tanweer Festival concluded on 23 November 2025, marking the end of three days of programming held from 21–23 November 2025 in the Mleiha desert. Running from 9am to midnight each day, the festival brought together music, culture, nature, and reflection in a setting designed to foster connection and contemplation.
Founded by Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi, the festival reflects her vision of creating an environment where individuals can reconnect with themselves, with one another, and with the natural landscape of Mleiha. This year’s edition featured a diverse programme of musical performances, workshops, wellness sessions, guided desert experiences, and immersive art installations, all curated to support the festival’s ethos of harmony and presence. The festival also continued its focus on environmentally responsible practices, incorporating low-waste systems and reusable materials.
Throughout its three-day run, attendees engaged with multidisciplinary content presented across the festival’s key areas, including main-stage performances, contemplative spaces, cultural activations, and curated market and culinary offerings that highlighted regional artisans and producers.
Eventify Entertainment served as a key delivery partner for the 2025 edition, overseeing a wide scope of work that contributed to the successful execution of the festival. The company supported stage and technical management, programming flow, experience design, narrative development, onsite operations, and coordination across performance zones. Eventify also contributed to audience movement planning, speaker and performer management, and the detailed creative and logistical elements that shaped the overall visitor journey.
During the closing ceremony, Sheikha Bodour shared a message that underscored the festival’s purpose, emphasising reflection, unity, and the importance of thoughtful action beyond the desert setting.
