May 23 – The Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA) is significantly expanding its six week long ‘Summer in Abu Dhabi’ program, bringing its spectacular entertainment line-up into eight venues across the UAE and Al Ain. This is the first time the festival, now in its third year, has branched out into the emirate’s Eastern Region heritage heartland. Three major international acts headline the summer festival, which runs from June 24th to August 5th, 2010.
The acts include, direct from the USA, New York’s award winning Big Apple Circus, one of the biggest in the world, which will be making its first appearance in the Middle East. The circus, which was the opening act for Brittney Spear’s highly successful ‘The Circus Starring Brittney Spears’ world tour, boasts a stellar cast of international stars from Europe and Russia. Faisel Al Sheikh, events manager for ADTA said “This is family entertainment at its very finest. It sets the tone of an entertainment and edutainment extravaganza which is larger than ever with compelling 1-for-1 visitor deals.
