How this concert fits into the MOTN night
MOTN opens its festival grounds daily at 4:00 PM, so you can arrive earlier and enjoy the wider site before the concert window. Plan for a 7:30 PM door time for the concert zone. Also, the live show timing usually reflects a smooth flow rather than a strict seated schedule, so arriving before 8:00 PM helps you settle in comfortably. Meanwhile, the festival format makes it easy to turn the concert into a full evening, because you can eat, browse, and then move toward the stage. Moreover, the Corniche location pulls big crowds on winter weekends, so you will feel the atmosphere build as the night goes on.
Rasha Rizk’s set and why it matters
Rasha Rizk built a rare cross-generational audience through her voice work and her live performances, and she often blends nostalgia with powerful modern delivery. Expect a singalong energy in key moments. Also, her concerts typically lean on emotional phrasing and strong crescendos, so the open-air stage can feel surprisingly intimate when the crowd locks in. Meanwhile, many fans know her from iconic Arabic-dubbed anime themes, which adds a shared memory layer to the night. Additionally, her live sets often balance familiar highlights with newer material, so even first-timers can follow the momentum (family-friendly, suitable for couples, suitable for solo).
Ticket types and what your purchase covers
Concert listings for this night usually treat it as a dedicated concert zone inside MOTN rather than a separate off-site gig. Ticket rules can change, so double-check your category before you go. Also, some ticket options bundle same-day access to the MOTN festival grounds with concert entry, which simplifies planning. Meanwhile, if online categories sell out, on-site booths sometimes operate at entrances, yet availability can tighten quickly near showtime. Because pricing shifts with demand, treat AED amounts as approximately, especially once service fees apply.
Getting to Abu Dhabi Corniche smoothly
The Corniche area becomes busy on Friday evenings, especially when a major festival runs at the waterfront. Parking is limited. Also, MOTN commonly points drivers toward free parking opposite the Corniche in the Nation Towers parking area, yet spaces work on a first-come basis. Meanwhile, taxis and ride-hailing can save time, because you avoid hunting for a spot and you can focus on arrival timing. If you prefer public transport, Abu Dhabi buses serve the Corniche, and many visitors combine a bus drop-off with a short walk to the festival gates.
Arriving from Dubai or Sharjah
If you travel from Dubai, leave earlier than you think, because Friday traffic can stack on the Abu Dhabi approach. Build a buffer of at least 60 to 90 minutes. Also, consider aiming to enter the festival around 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM, because that timing reduces last-minute stress and keeps dinner options open. Meanwhile, visitors from Sharjah often benefit from an even earlier departure, since the northbound congestion can ripple into the highway before sunset. If you do not want to drive, you can take an intercity bus to Abu Dhabi Central Bus Station and then continue by taxi to the Corniche.
Cashless habits and on-site comfort
MOTN often runs as a cashless venue, so you will want a working card or mobile wallet for food and purchases. Cash is not accepted for purchases inside the festival. Also, the Corniche breeze can feel cooler than you expect after 9:00 PM, so a light layer helps even on a mild day. Meanwhile, wear comfortable shoes, because you may walk more than planned between parking, gates, and the stage area. Additionally, if you attend with children, keep them close in crowded zones, especially during the pre-show rush.
Warnings and tips closing paragraph
For Friday, 26 December 2025, expect a mild evening around 22°C near 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM with mostly clear skies, so dress light but pack a thin layer for the waterfront. Arrive before 7:30 PM to avoid peak entry pressure. Also, plan for heavy traffic around the Corniche and limited parking, so a taxi drop-off can be the simplest option. Meanwhile, if you drive, target the Nation Towers area early, because spaces can disappear quickly on busy nights. Ticket and door prices can change and remain approximately in AED, and the most reliable ticket sources to check are TICKETMASTER and PLATINUMLIST, while festival support can be reached via info@motn.ae. Information style and timing checks used by the editor team at www.few.ae generally favour confirming the schedule again on the event day.
