Plans are getting rerouted this week — and for good reason.
Abu Dhabi events this week arrive all at once, with an AI courtroom experience, a one-night candlelit concert in Al Ain, and a Picasso showcase continuing at Louvre Abu Dhabi. The capital's schedule is packed, and people are adjusting their plans around it.
What's On in Abu Dhabi This Week
Here's what is currently happening:
- Dar Al Zein Festival joins this week's cultural programming - The Jury Experience "Death by AI: Who Pays the Price?" begins April 4 at Manarat Al Saadiyat - Candlelight: Queen vs. ABBA takes place April 4 at ADNEC Centre Al Ain - Picasso exhibition continues at Louvre Abu Dhabi until May 31
Everything is scheduled within the same stretch of days, giving the week a full calendar across different formats and venues.
The AI Courtroom Taking Focus This Week
The Jury Experience "Death by AI: Who Pays the Price?" begins April 4 at Manarat Al Saadiyat and runs on multiple dates through early May.
This is a live courtroom setup where the audience serves as jurors. The case centres on artificial intelligence and accountability — attendees review witness testimonies, weigh arguments, scan QR codes at key moments, and vote to decide the outcome. The experience runs 60 minutes and requires attendees to be 12 or older; children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Tickets start from 150 AED.
Manarat Al Saadiyat is hosting this experience as part of its ongoing public programming, placing it at the centre of this week's activity.
Candlelight Concert Brings a One-Night Setup in Al Ain
On April 4, ADNEC Centre Al Ain hosts Candlelight: Queen vs. ABBA, presented by Fever — part of the global candlelit concert series known for live music performed by talented local musicians in venues lit by thousands of candles.
The performance features music from Queen and ABBA presented in an intimate, immersive environment. It adds a music option to the weekend lineup for those planning a different kind of night out in Al Ain.
Picasso Exhibition Continues at Louvre Abu Dhabi
At Louvre Abu Dhabi, a Picasso-focused exhibition continues to run until May 31.
The museum's rotating exhibition programme keeps major international artists in focus throughout the year. This current showcase places Pablo Picasso at the centre of the season and remains one of the key ongoing experiences in the capital for visitors planning their week.
Saadiyat Island Holds a Large Share of the Activity
Manarat Al Saadiyat and Louvre Abu Dhabi both sit within the Saadiyat Cultural District, where a large portion of this week's programming is taking place.
With exhibitions, immersive experiences, and ongoing events, the district continues to host a major share of what's happening right now. Emerging additions like the Dar Al Zein Festival are also part of the current Abu Dhabi events calendar.
This week in Abu Dhabi places multiple experiences on the calendar at the same time. Interactive AI storytelling, live music, and major art exhibitions are all running within the same window — making it one of the more active stretches the capital has seen this season.
