Festivals

So much in Asia depends on the calendar. In February in Beijing, more than 20 million people all set off fireworks to celebrate Chinese New Year. In Nagaland in India, tribes from all over the region meet to compete, dance, and celebrate. In Thailand, spectators look on as celebrants perform bizarre rituals at the Nine Emperor Gods Festival.   With an intimate and unique knowledge of Asian culture, Remote Lands knows the importance of experiencing culture the right way. Whether you want an up-close view of the Sing-Sing festival in the Asaro Valley of Papua New Guinea or a quiet walk through the Sapporo Snow Festival in Japan, Remote Lands can give travelers the best possible experience on their celebrations throughout Asia.

Al Marmoum Heritage Festival

April

April's Al Marmoum Heritage Festival is a chance to see a real show of Emirati culture - camel racing. One of the oldest sports in the region, this is an unforgettable experience. Expect cheering fans, huge TVs documenting the action, scorching desert heat, and mini robot jockeys (a modern adaptation to this long tradition).

Location Dubai, UAE

April-May

Eid in Dubai really brings together the region’s diverse and multicultural community to celebrate this important religious festival in harmony. The government organizes some excellent events and activities for all ages and all tastes, including food stalls, shows and fireworks for up to four days.
