This is a ‘Night at the Museum’ with a twist
It’s party time at Louvre Abu Dhabi! The well-known museum at Saadiyat Cultural District is throwing a one-night-only late-night party for its eight birthday on 7 November, and it’s not your usual museum visit.
The highlight of the evening will be a high-energy rooftop cycling with CRANK Fitness featuring a silent disco on bikes, lasers cutting through the night sky, DJ beats pumping, and the city skyline as your backdrop.
Ride with CRANK
Priced at AED 250 for each event, the sunset session kicks things off from 5.45 to 6.45 pm, led by Azza Al Mughairy, setting the tone with a Khaleeji-inspired theme.
At 7.30 pm, Chloe Wilson kicks off the EDM rave night, turning the rooftop into a high-energy dancefloor.
Erin Russel takes over from 9.30 pm to 10.30 pm with a Hip-Hop vs R&B showdown, while Mia Charara closes the night from 11.30 pm to 12.30 am with an electrifying Drums vs Latino set, mixing pulsating percussion with vibrant Latin grooves.
Then on 8 November, the rooftop CRANK experience wraps up with a sunrise session from 6 to 7 am, where Denzyl spins an energetic Tomorrowland vs Rudimental set to start the day with high-octane beats.

For a completely different kind of thrill, the floating immersive breathwork experience with Breasy will invite guests to drift beneath the iconic dome.
Surrounded by serene soundscapes and soft lighting, participants will be guided through meditative breathing exercises that calm the mind and rejuvenate the body.
It’s the perfect moment to disconnect, recharge, and connect with your senses while enveloped in the museum’s awe-inspiring architecture.
The experience is offered in two sessions on 7 November 2025: the first from 5.30 pm to 7.30 pm, and the second from 9.30 pm to 11.30 pm.
Each session lasts two hours, providing ample time to unwind and immerse yourself fully in the calming environment.
Tickets are priced at AED 400, giving participants a rejuvenating evening of wellness and reflection under the museum’s stunning dome.
