In line with the global programming created by Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ocean Futures Society exclusively for The Ritz-Carlton, Ritz Kids at The Ritz-Carlton Abu Dhabi encourages children to explore the world around them through an array of daily changing activities.

In the Middle East, for centuries henna has been applied on hands and nails for luck and beauty and is an integral part of local heritage.
