WHAT
IS
THE NADI?
The Nadi is the UAE’s first intergenerational social club, bringing adults of all ages together through curated experiences that inspire wellness, learning, and connection.
Open to everyone, with a special focus on enriching the lives of older adults, we offer a welcoming space to move, grow, and thrive together.
We partner with instructors, studios, venues and brands across the UAE to host our events and activities every month. This way we invite you to experience all that UAE has on offer through our variedprogramming.
The Nadi is open to all adults and especially designed for all retirees and older adults who are looking to stay active, engaged, and socially connected.
The Nadi certified activities & events
Every Nadi event is carefully selected to be welcoming, accessible, and energizing for adults of all ages. Sometimes its about mental or physical well being, other times they are simply designed as fun, light-hearted experiences you can share with friends and loved ones of mixed ages.
Whether it’s a class, workshop, or social gathering, a Nadi Certified event ensures a safe, uplifting, and inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels confident to join in and connect.
The
Founders
The Nadi is the brainchild of Shaden Abdellatif and Joanne Kubba, born from a question many of us in Dubai have asked: “Is there anything for our parents or older adults to do here?”
That, combined with our connection to the UAE as home, inspired us to create something meaningful—not just for today but for our future selves as well.
Every program we curate comes from the heart, with activities carefully chosen for their health benefits, social impact, or simply the joy they bring.
Why multi-generational? Because we don't think experiences should always be grouped by age, in fact, we think it makes it more enriching when they're not. Think about the last time you learned something new with your parents or loved ones -
