Dubai will host a major free sunrise yoga gathering on Sunday, November 29, 2026. The event will take place beneath the iconic The Gate building at Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), with registration now open.

According to What’s On, Dubai Yoga is one of four flagship events in the Dubai Fitness Challenge and will be held on the final day of the 30-day initiative.

Yoga programme begins at 5:15am

Entry gates will open at 5:15am, with the event schedule as follows:

5:55am to 6:25am: Live music and a yogasana demonstration by UAE champions

6:30am to 6:45am: Sound relaxation, breathing exercises and warm-up

6:45am to 7:15am: Main group sunrise yoga session

Until 8am: Music, wellness activities, and food and beverage offerings

Open to all ages and ability levels

Organisers said no previous yoga experience is required, with everyone from beginners to advanced practitioners welcome to attend. Yoga mats will also be provided at the venue.

During registration, participants can choose from three sections: general, women-only or family. Dedicated areas will also be available for people of determination.

Children are welcome, but anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Organisers also recommend wearing comfortable clothing and bringing a refillable water bottle.

Inaugural event attracts 3,500 participants

The inaugural Dubai Yoga event was held in 2025 and attracted about 3,500 participants. Unlike last year’s sunset event, this year’s session will take place early in the morning at sunrise.

The 10th Dubai Fitness Challenge will also run from October 31 to November 29, 2026, encouraging residents and visitors to complete 30 minutes of physical activity each day.

Dubai Yoga is free to attend, but advance online registration is required.
