ABU DHABI // A health and fitness event will be held to coincide with National Day celebrations and inspire the community to take up a more active lifestyle.
The four-day Abu Dhabi Alive festival, which begins on November 27 at Zayed Sports City, will educate residents on the benefits of healthier habits.
There will be free consultations, group classes such as Zumba and family activities including fitness tests, live street dancing and cooking shows.

Abu Dhabi Sports Council will promote its vision of sport as an industry, developing the culture of sports professionalism and encouraging investment.
