Dive into the depths of discovery at the Guardians of Water Festival,a captivating two-weekend experience at Terra, Expo City Dubai, running 30–31 August and 6–7 September. This immersive event is a celebration of our planet’s most precious resource and designed to spark curiosity and inspire action.
“As our days grow hotter, we are reminded that water is not just precious, it is life itself. With less than 1% of the world’s supply fresh and accessible, protecting it is one of the greatest responsibilities we share. The Guardians of Water Festival invites families to experience the wonder of water while inspiring each of us to cherish and protect every drop for generations to come.” said Marjan Faraidooni, Chief of Education and Culture at Expo City Dubai.
Over two weekends, visitors can dive into a rich programme of activities.

Celebrated children’s authors Kathy Urban and Beverly Jatwani will delight visitors with playful, heartwarming tales that introduce young listeners to the fascinating creatures and vibrant habitats of the freshwater world.
